In my opinion Fedora (at least back in the Core days) was too cutting
edge for company use. If you will be the only user, then have a blast.
But if you will need to support other desktops, then Fedora is not a
stable choice. Each version introduces drastic changes and the
versions come (and go) very quickly. I would recommend CentOS 6.1 for
a desktop that you need to support, on which you can install the
latest Java and Eclipse.
