If you are running servers upon which you or your company depend for reliability and revenue AND where you need a multi-year support window, then run either RHEL or CENTOS. The former comes with paid support, the latter is a "community" based version of RHEL. Both are designed for high availability and longer term stability. Something which most SysAdmins demand. My company runs RHEL on all of our servers and several of us run Fedora on the desktop. Fedora is fine and I have been running it and it's RH predcessors for a number of years. However, given the philosophy behind Fedora (much like Ubuntu), you must be willing to ride the fast train and put up with the periodic toe-stubbing that will inevitably take place using a leading edge, rapid development approach. If you are not willing or don't have the time to upgrade to each new version or perhaps every other version, then Fedora is not for you. Fedora Legacy was a noble attempt, but in the end, a waste of resources (both human and financial) that could have been put to better use on Fedora itself. The bottom line is determine your functional requirements and find a distribution that meets them as best as possible. That may or may not be Fedora.
