hi guys
I wonder if any Centosian here have done something different than only contemplated using Fedora Server, actually worked on it in test/production envs.
If here are some folks who have done it I want to ask if you deem it to be a viable option to put it on at least portion of servers stack.
Anybody?
Many thanks, L.

Using fedora will lead you to reinstall servers frequently, for almost each new versions I think.
Many years ago I was using opensuse as some of my servers were running SLES and migration between versions was realy difficult without full reinstall every 1,5 to 2 years...

That's just...err, misinformation. The Fedora team works very hard to enable upgrading (without a clean install) from one release to the next...often skipping releases is fine (e.g., 27 to 29).
That said, I only have a few Fedora boxes (used like servers -- that is, not on people's desks) for my users that need more bleeding edge software stacks and additional packages than CentOS + EPEL can provide. Due to the heavy flow of packages updates and kernel updates, it takes a special kind of user to cope with updates, reboots, and occasional breakage.

... or just 27 years of migration experience :-D (all OS included). Even with Fedora laptop, but of course it was many years ago with realy old versions (4 to 5 to 6...). No doubtthat things have been improved but between theory and practice....
