Urmm, isn't Fedora Core == RHL essentially?

So, you wouldn't use Fedora (too bleeding edge) but you would use 
Gentoo? Or Debian (which Debian? Ok ok, Debian Stable right now just 
happens to be mildly recent).

IMHO, I can think of cases where you'd be insane to use CentOS over 
Fedora just as much as the other way around.

Further, if you need CentOS cause you want a long-term supportable 
server, you're likely quite insane to choose it over RHEL. And if 
RHEL is an option, hey, you could choose Solaris - cheaper (no, it's 
free if you want) and better for certain things (I'm biased though ;) 
).

Horses for courses.
