Ditto postfix. My company has approximately 40 users and 130 computers.
Our DNS, LDAP, DHCP and SAMBA PDC and BDC are running (so far happily) 
on FC1. (The only problem that's come up is keeping the 'ldap' user from 
running out of open files.)
I have a new FC1 mailserver ready to migrate to using postfix, 
cyrus-imapd, and spamassassin. (Waiting for downtime to migrate the user 
data).

I plan on budgeting in the future to put the core systems (DNS, mail, 
web, etc) on RHAS or RHEL just for peace of mind, but FC1 is running 
pretty happily at the moment.

Our desktops are being upgraded to FC1, and I'm extremely happy with it 
in that role.

The compute farm is a work in progress. It has been running at 7.3 for 
quite some time, but the acquisition of newer hardware, plus high 
threading and memory requirements from some newer tools, is pushing us 
to a 2.6.1 based system (currently I install FC1, then update it to the 
development repository, just to make sure all the subtle kernel-related 
things get changed together).

I'll probably freeze a particular set of packages as my own 'stable' 
installation for core/desktop/compute use, then pull in updates on a 
case-by-case basis.  The desktops will probably track actual updates 
most closely, since that's where people see the most day-to-day 
improvements, but the servers will end up being much more static.
