Ted, Anselm's advice is solid, we're almost never going to be testing the bleeding/leading edge, but the solid 80% in the high middle to low middle.
Fedora and Ubuntu sometimes get ahead of the game with new features they're floating and that can be really distracting to those studying to get the certification that supports that middle ground where most systems in deployment live today. I keep F16 and Linux Mint around in VM's for reference and some excitement, but stick with Debian or older Ubuntu and CentOS.
