I agree with the above advice. I'm faced with updating a server that is
running Fedora Core 2 right now <cringe>. This was discussed in earlier
postings and I was strongly advised not to use Fedora releases for
internet-exposed servers.

My plan is to use CentOS 5. The very reason for using it is the
stability of the release. You won't find "bleeding edge" in either RHEL
or CentOS.
