Hmm. So, is then running a Fedora Core which is a few releases old
about the same as running CentOS? I deem not, but am willing to be
corrected.

I run FC2, with some updates from the Fedora Legacy project. I find
it stable on my hardware. I thought about "upgrading" to FC4, but
have watched the fallout here, and decided to wait a while. FC3 is
still a viable "upgrade", I guess.

Would CentOS be a better deal for one doing contract work at home,
and concerned about possible data loss?
