i have two uses-cases for Fedora

private:

* homerouter / firewall / VPN-gateway / WLAN-AP (hostapd)
* fileserver for all sorts of data
* music server (MPD)
* KDE desktop
* web-develoment (Eclipse)
* all sort of servers like for business in VMware Workstation

business:

* software development
  * web-applications / web-services / cms-systems
  * admin backends for different services like mail/web/ftp/sftp/EPP
  * deployment-tools (shell/php-scripts)
* router / firewall / VPN-gateway for small offices
* http-server / load-balancer (httpd / apache trafficserver)
* ftp-server
* mailserver (dbmail, dovecot, postfix, mysql)
* database servers (for web-sites as well for admin-backends)
* fileserver (smb / netatalk)
* dns-servers (authoritative for hosting and internal resolvers
* dhcpd
* sftp-servers with nss-mysql in case of many virtual users
* voip / fax (asterisk, hylafax, iaxmodem)
* openvpn

in summary: any network-service for internal usage as well as for
customer services based on self-written admin- and deployment tools
on top of VMware vSphere and running all on Fedora since many years
and any dist-upgrade online with YUM all the time
