If you are trying to keep a system running to get work done without big
changes you want Centos rather than Fedora - definitely. That or
something like Ubuntu where the change rate is a bit saner, and with the
LTS version a lot less.

For that kind of user I've had more success with Ubuntu than anything
else - it just works, it's got Ubuntu One file back up services and it's
got a community pitched at the "user" level.

who don't care about such detail it usually just works.
