You could always try Debian, it is based on code that is two to three years old, but it is very stable. Rahul brought up a very good point. Fedora is targeted towards folks who want/need the latest and greatest in technological advances and who are willing to risk not having system access for a little while. RHEL/RHAS are targeted towards commercial users who cannot tolerage any outage time or minimal outage time. I work with RH systems that are in such an environment so I can state that Fedora definitely would not work for us. And we look forward to installing RH6, when it is approved.
