I came from Fedora 10 to Centos, and the learning curve was
basically a flat line. Using Centos is like stepping back in
time to FC8 for me.
So I recommend Fedora as it's cutting edge, and I had no
major problems apart from not being able to print from Java
apps - but that got sorted a long time ago AFAIR.
Kind Regards,
Keith
