Fedora Core "After working with FC4 for more than a year, I decided that it is not time to upgrade my distribution. FC5 has been available for more than 7 months now and I did some testing on it. But instead of installing FC5 and then upgrading to FC6, I thought it would make more sense to upgrade only once."

Fedora is really experimental mostly-unstable desktop OS(?). It has crappy and limited package management system, it's insecure by default (just take a look at all these unneeded services lying aroud) - having SElinux switched to "ON" doesn't mean you are automagically protected from threats.

It can be somewhat usable to Desktop users because "Look it works - I have mouse pointer moving on X-Windows", but it is NOT recommended for any serious production environments.

Recommendation: if going to production - stay away from FC.
