You should not change if you are comfortable with it. I would use fedora C3 or 4 because it is newer. Have you checked out CentOS 4?

While it makes a passable desktop if you like rpm-type distributions, I personally would not use any Fedora version for a production machine.

CentOS is much more logical for a production webserver.

Centos is more stable than Fedora, it's compiled from the enterprise code that Redhat sells. It's not a bleeding edge but you may not need to be.

Yes, and we also find that CentOS works rather well with Cpanel; A very stable combo.

Yes, we have a dozen of servers with CentOS + cPanel and CentOS + DirectAdmin in our rack.
We've found them to be very stable (if used with decent hardware ofcourse) , also under high loads .

Fedora is the building blocks for redhat enterprise / centos.

Well... upgrading is always if you are sure everything runs smooth with the new version. But be cautious, i had to re-image my server.. i fter i realized that plesk was not supported on fedora 3. I had to install everything from scrap again.

Fedora is our OS of choice. CentOS might be great but haven't really checked it out thoroughly. I'm open to anything stable and reliable and we have hundreds of custom built RPMs for FC now. We are very comfortable with it and the servers run great. But we are a Plesk shop primarily.

If possible, I would stay away from Fedora as its a Desktop OS and has a short lifecycle - which means you will be upgrading your servers core components on a regular basis. This is not something you want to do on a production web server.
I would recommend looking into CentOS 3 or 4, it has worked quite well for us, and is a free rebuild of RHEL.crucialparadigm - Affordable, Reliable, Professional :

Hello There!
FC2 is a perfect OS for linux servers. However I would suggest to use one of CentOs Releases on your next production servers.
For now the best release is CentOs4 ,After installation make sure to disable Auditd to ensure stable operation of your system.

As things stand, CentOS 3 or RHEL 3 are your best bets for a hosting enviroment. If your running a CP'less system then the world is your oyster.
