I have been running a server using Fedora and before that the original 
releases of RH. It is now running 8. I made a software RAID of 360GB and 
use SAMBA to access it. I have two dozen systems that access it all the 
time. Each revision of the OS is loaded with the RAID disconnected. I 
update the distribution and connect the RAID. I configure SAMBA, usually 
by copying the .conf file. I made a script that copies the user info. To 
date I have never had a problem. I just added four 500GB drives in a 
software RAID 5, again not a hitch.

I have a RSYNC box that keeps that server backed up. It has been running 
Fedora core 2 since it was released. Again no problems.

I do not run anything else on either box and they have no other 
peripherals defined, just the disk, LAN and console.

So, I don't have a problem using Fedora as a server.
