[Cialug] Server Distros

[Jeff Chapin]

Honestly, I have been using a mix of CentOS and Fedora desktop machines as
my personal 'servers' for *YEARS* -- and I think I will just move anything
that cannot stay on CentOS to Fedora. The release cycle is a lot more
aggressive, but now that they have the upgrade path from one version of
Fedora to the next ironed out, it meets my needs. I have a couple hours of
downtime every other year or so as I do a full upgrade to the next release,
but I have *RARELY* had any issues. Definately good enough for a
homelab/home needs.
