Fedora has its place. It's a nice environment to play in and test "bleeding edge" compatibility. Many of the things I played with on FC6 work mostly "out of the box" with CentOS 5 so I give those people who live on the edge a lot of credit for making life easier for those of us who want/need things to be a bit more stable.
Cheers,

Oh, I agree completely. Fedora amazes every time I install a fresh one. It's just that I'm getting too old to play with sharp objects ;-0 Stability and regularity are the keys to a happy life.

I find Fedora makes an excellent desktop OS as most people like the latest and greatest on their desktops and are willing to deal with a major upgrade every 18 months to get it.
I like CentOS on my servers. Redhat compatibility gives wide third party support and the extended lifetime makes sure I do not have to perform a major upgrade on those every 18 months.
Having both Fedora and CentOS in my environment means there is a common base compatibility between the two.

I guess this is the typical case for many users including myself. Note, though, that Fedora's lifespan is more like 13 months.

Yes, but if it is a behind-the-firewall deployment I can get away with stretching it another 6 months or so.
I also using PXE deployment which makes installation a simple process, all user data is kept on the servers so there is nothing that needs to be backed up and restored on the stations. Just wipe and go.
