Glad to hear it. You're current with Fedora now. Eventually, one of
latest Fedora releases will become Red Hat Enterprise 6.
Remember that Fedora is development software. It's pretty solid, but
you should be aware of that fact. It's kind of "bleeding edge". It
also has a pretty short life cycle (about 6 months). F11 just came
out, F12 will probably be out in October. Older Fedora releases are
only supported to two releases back (e.g. Fedora 9 is now end-of-life
and no new updates will be created for it).
If you want solid, reliable stuff, go with the CentOS 5.3 thing. As I
said, it's built from Red Hat's SRPMs (with a few tweaks), so it'll be
around as long as the equivalent Red Hat Enterprise stuff is. If this
machine is business-critical, DEFINITELY go with CentOS.
