Personally I run Fedora on our desktops which is perfect for that 
environment, as users tend to demand or need the latest and greatest and 
as our desktops tend to be updated once a year, the release cycle is 
just about right. I wouldn't consider it for our servers though, the 
release cycle is far too fast and changes happy too quickly. For that, 
we use RHEL which tends to stay fairly static with the software supplied 
with it, with bugfixes and security fixes tending to be back-ported. If 
it wasn't for the fact we get the licenses for something like $35 then 
we'd probably use CentOS.
