guys i am preparing muself to take the RHCE self study way and i wanna know what is the best OS (fedora 14 or centos 5.5) and in the same time i wanna it to be a general usage OS
Since the RHCE exam is based on RHEL, that would be the best OS to work with. If you don't want to shell out the money for RHEL, then CentOS 5 would be the next choice.

I agree also. I'm going along the same self-taught path using CentOS 5.5, lurking and absorbing all of the cool stuff that happens on this mailing list.
From reading through that massive SELinux thread, I decided I should
tackle that first, since it seems to be the most misunderstood yet most useful tool to know how to use. Currently using this great manual: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/Security-En...
I think my next thing to learn is httpd configuration. And then maybe a little perl (I already know python and regex's).
Any other important topics to know?

ok,but i think fedora is more convinent as desktop but which is better as server and workstation centos or fedora i mean can be both the desktop and the server in the same time?

You have to make your own choice between 'stable and well tested' and 'new with the latest features'. You can't have both at the same time and different distributions choose different balances. If you'll lose a lot of money over a few minutes of downtime, go with 'well tested', but there are places where it is appropriate to run newer code and if nobody did, it would never advance to 'well tested'.

I run Fedora and Ubuntu in virtual machines hosted on CentOS :)... Best of both worlds.. The stable system underneath, and the don't blink or you'll miss a release distros in virtuals. I use Fedora and Ubuntu for various photography and text applications.

fedora as a server would be OK.... if you only plan on using that server for 6-9 months and wiping it and rebuilding it afterwards.
fedora's short support cycle pretty much takes it off my list as when I build a system, its generally going to be used for 3-5 years.
