Hi Jonathan,

I run Fedora 10 and like it just fine. It's rather cutting edge, so 
if you're not willing to run the upgrades fairly often it might not 
be for you.

On my servers at work I've switched to CentOS because they're servers 
and I really don't want to mess with them much. CentOS has long term 
support, Fedora does not.
