It seems you're describing a very conservative setup. In that case, CentOS 4.4 might be just what you need (CentOS 5 will be released soon and it will contain powerful new features, but you formulated your requirements in terms that leave no doubt you're looking for a conservative, familiar environment above all else). Disable LVM, the web server, etc. if that's what you want. The OS is very customizable, similar to Fedora.
4.4 should be an easy switch. The learning curve to go from FC to CentOS (and vice versa) is minimal.
