   I'm migrating from a Godaddy.com Windows 2003 server to a godaddy.com Linux server.

   I'm wondering if there is any compelling reason for choosing any of the three options over the other options?

   Option 1: Red Hat Fedora Core 7
   Option 2: CentOS 4
   Option 3: CentOS 5

   Fedora is bleeding edge and Centos 5 is the latest version of Centos, so go with that one.

   CentOS 5 would be my personal choice as well.

   Although I believe both share their heritage with RHEL, I think xavierp nails it when he says Fedora is a bleeding edge distribution. I think it may in fact be more or less considered a testing or proving ground for some potential features or applications not yet completely ready for a production environment. CentOS on the other hand, if I am not mistaken, is RHEL recompiled from source and simply redistributed minus all the RedHat branding. I have used both on my personal server projects, and CentOS has been hands down my favorite, as well as rock solid.

   Excellent, thanks for the feedback everyone!

   As a result I've installed CentOS 5. And this weekend I get to learn how to use Linux. :)
