<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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..</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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are gone, they have been replaced by a whole new spate of (some still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.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p>

<div>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p>
