Fedora updates are done by the community, but FC5 is soon be to at
end-of-life based on the fast release cycle that Fedora uses.  I think
Michael is suggesting something a little less bleeding-edge for your
server--something that doesn't have a new version every 6 months.

Fedora is only maintained by RedHat.  In fact, in Fedora 7, the community
and RedHat have basically become one when it comes to submitting updates.
Fedora is how RedHat gives back to the community.  Fedora is a community
edition, which is why much of it is gui based and focuses on technologies
like bluetooth and Beryl/AIGLX.


On a non-FC/RHEL/CentOS note: I run my servers on Ubuntu, but use the
LTS (Long Term Support) release 6.06.1 as it is still supported for some
time, despite also having other interim releases (currently 7.04).


I currently run FC6 on my server, but I totally agree with Christer here
that you should consider CentOS 5.  Its much more stable.  Also, I am going
to be moving my servers off the FC6 server onto a RHEL5 box this fall.

Cheers,

Clint
