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.
