When the real question is how to get a stable machine to a more modern feature 
set, the answer is often CentOS. Fedora is better at being latest and greatest, 
and overall stability (ie. doesn't fall dead after updates) has improved. But it 
is not going to be as stable as CentOS, nor is it intended to be. If 'latest' is 
not required but 'newer' is, then that's the best advice to give.
