As far as I can judge from my reading of newsgroups and mailing lists, CentOS is neither more nor less reliable than Fedora.
I run Fedora on my home system, but uses Scientific Linux (RHEL clone) at work, and can tell you for a *fact* Scientific Linux is much more stable than Fedora. It simply doesn't get major package updates. All that are pushed out are important security updates when needed.

I'm not disagreeing with you about Scientific Linux, which I haven't used, but CentOS 4 recently had a very large major upgrade from 4.4 to 4.5, which I, as a new CentOS user hoping for the non-upgrade kind of stability, found rather upsetting. I was told that CentOS just follows RedHat, which had just done that to RHEL 4. Is Scientific Linux different?
