Fedora on the server

[Dave Oxley]

My company is buying a new Dell server (2x2.4GHz P4 Xeon, 2Gb RAM, 73Gb 
RAID 1 SCSI) for our production customer facing web site and I have been 
trying to decide on which Linux distribution to use. It needs to run 
Apache, tomcat, sendmail, mysql, php and bind and have minimum downtime. 
We normally have about 25Gb of HTTP traffic a month, but is likely to 
double over the next 12 months. I am not fussed about having paid for 
support (that's my job!)

I was going to choose RH9 (after deciding against Debian), but I just 
found out about Fedora. Is Core 1 suitable for this type of environment? 
Or would you recommend I go with RH9 or Debian.

Cheers.
