To be sure:
Fedora 11 is Legacy
Fedora 12 is approaching EOL
Fedora 13 is current Development
Fedora 14 is in Rawhide

Please know that Fedora isn't for testing, unless you wish to test with it.
It is for development. There is a distinct difference

At this point your post has gone wild. What you have done is communicate your

CentOS is a fine server, as is RHE if you wish to pay for it. And more
importantly you get the benefits of SELinux. The reason for running older
software is because it's stable and proven software. And you don't build
Google chrome on a server, you shouldn't build X on a server. Your comparison
is out of context. If you wish to run a stable server with more up to date
software, then you might wish Novell or SUSE. Again with a price attached. Now
I have plainly given my thoughts on the value of RH software with valid
reasons for the newbie to consider.
And of course there are many other *nix distributions one could consider which
is open source. Like your Ubuntu, BSD, Debian, Slackware, open SUSE and the
list goes on. Pick what your comfortable with, and just learn it.
