Being on the leading edge mitigates seriously against reliability.
I find the boast/warning that Fedora is "bleeding edge" slightly absurd.
In my (probably limited) experience, it is neither more nor less reliable
than other distributions.
Then perhaps you should listen to those with more experience.
I haven't noticed any difference between CentOS and Fedora-8,
which I'm running on my other machines.
In fact, I don't know which I am on (when accessing remotely)
except by looking at the name.
Based on past experience, you could expect the CentOS box to keep
running with nothing but occasional 'yum update's for 6 more years. Even
if F8 updates don't actually break your working system (which is likely
to depend on your specific hardware) in less than a year you'll stop
getting updates and as soon as a new security issue is discovered you'll
be forced to re-install some wildly different version.
