I second that sediment for Fedora on servers.  Fedora is about the 
latest and greatest technology fast.  Unless there is a new feature you 
just gotta have, a more stable OS like CentOS is far better suited for 
the job.  If you still want to use Fedora on a server I'd say go with 
FC4, as the number of updates coming down the pipe are fewer.
