hi guys

I wonder if any Centosian here have done something different than only
contemplated using Fedora Server, actually worked on it in
test/production envs.

If here are some folks who have done it I want to ask if you deem it
to be a viable option to put it on at least portion of servers stack.

Anybody?

Many thanks, L.

Using fedora will lead you to reinstall servers frequently, for almost
each new versions I think.

Many years ago I was using opensuse as some of my servers were running
SLES and migration between versions was  realy difficult without full
reinstall every 1,5 to 2 years...

That's just...err, misinformation.  The Fedora team works very hard to enable upgrading (without a clean install) from one release to the next...often skipping releases is fine (e.g., 27 to 29).

That said, I only have a few Fedora boxes (used like servers -- that is, not on people's desks) for my users that need more bleeding edge software stacks and additional packages than CentOS + EPEL can provide.  Due to the heavy flow of packages updates and kernel updates, it takes a special kind of user to cope with updates, reboots, and occasional breakage.
