We use Fedora in production environment with no major headaches.  We 
run versions ranging from FC1 to FC3 and still have less problems than 
that major OS that costs hundreds of dollars (which we have site 
licenses for).

The only issue is someone will have to learn how to maintain the 
system and if they are windows oriented, it will take time.

Go for it and enjoy.
