Yes, and that also means newer glib etc can be needed sometimes which are
not YET avail on centos, however if you are not a yum freak and prefer to
control builds, its perfect. Been using centos since ever, and never got any
problems, never..

Unless you are a strong Linux Guru, I would never recommend a Fedora release
for a production system.  I have FC9 here and FC10.  It took me months to
eliminate the bugs from FC9, and I still haven't gotten FC10 to install on
the machine I got it for (three months now).  Fedora is cutting edge and
puts out a new release probably every six months with less than usual regard
for consistency or stability.  I don't know of anything Asterisk that
requires this level of cutting edge technology.  While all the bugs I fought
in FC9 are gone, they have been replaced by a whole new spate of (some still
unidentified) bugs.

 

Centos is a much more appropriate distro for production work.  Nothing goes
into it until it is known to be rock solid, and update occur much more
slowly.  It wouldn't be too far off base to say that Fedora users are the
beta testers for Centos--not explicitly in terms of versions, but certainly
in terms of features and code base.  I'm sure there are other good (maybe
even better) distros for Asterisk, I'm not familiar with all of them.

Fedora is really at home with someone who is running a personal web server
or media computer or something for a hobby and likes to have the latest of
everything and wants to (or at least is willing to) play with it, get it to
work and help improve it.  That isn't the recipe for running a business.
