You may want to look at centos instead of fedora. Binary equivalent of RedHat ES. We use RedHat for our most critical boxes, just to be able to call someone if we need to, even though we never do, and use centos essentially whenever possible. For most issues, we post to this list, as we rarely run into a problem that someone else hasn't already tackled.

In fact, the larger side of my company doesn't set up any updates for SUSE and they always remain on the base version. It's record keeping software for pharmacy. We'd be using PostgreSQL for the database. It's terminal based currently, with a transition to a GTK2 environment sometime in the next few years. I realize that they are essentially the same OSes with different names, but politically I am against SUSE. Also, there have been issues I've seen with SUSE on our bigger side of the company, which is already actively using SUSE. I guess in the end I will be developing in Fedora (as I do currently) and publishing in SUSE.
