I agree with Nils that CentOS would be a better choice for you. If you like Fedora, you'll find that CentOS is nearly identical. If you're looking to try new things (sounds like you aren't, though), you could try Debian or Ubuntu's LTS version.
If you want the longest support cycle for a server-type machine, I'd stick with CentOS until you find a reason to use something different. -Rob Kenneth L.
