Like RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu LTS is absolutely appropriate for server use. In fact, it's sort of refreshing to set up a new server that isn't overloaded with bloat from the very start. Setting up a new VMWare image w/ Ubuntu Server takes at most 10 minutes whereas doing the same w/ CentOS 5 takes almost an hour (easier just to clone my base install copy kept for just that purpose).
I actually use Fedora for my Desktop. It dual boots to Ubuntu but I don't often use it. The only reason that I ever saw people using Fedora for production was because the RHEL/CentOS software packages were so completely out-of-date.

5 hours? What are you choosing when installing CentOS? I use just the Base and it installs in 10 mins on ESXi.
