Some review of Fedora 7. First, eWeek concludes: "We were impressed to see how amenable to customization this popular Linux-based operating system has grown." Linux.com also reviews Fedora 7. "Fedora 7 was released last week, a little bit behind schedule, with a spate of new features, updates, and live CD installable "spins" of Fedora in KDE and GNOME flavors. I found a lot of good in this release, but a bug in the FireWire stack that attacked my external backup drive made this release just a little shy of perfect." Update: Two more Fedora articles, a review and a news article.

If OpenSuse is to SLED, as CentOS is to RedHat EL, then yes, OpenSuse would be geared more towards a "static production environment", however if it is the same as Fedora, then I would say neither are applicable for a produciton environment (I'll clarify lower down what I mean by production).

Incorrect in case of CentOS which is a clone of RHEL. Fedora is actually the basis of RHEL and CentOS.

In addition to this, Fedora has released things that HAVE caused problems, migration to the 2.6 kernel was far from smooth,

Not unique to Fedora as it affected early 2.6 kernel based distributions including Mandriva and SLED.
