No experience with Fedora, but if you go with RHEL version 3, be aware 
that RedHat pulled out the database servers (both mysql and postgresql), 
apparently for inclusion in an as-yet-unreleased add-on product, so be 
prepared to roll your own or grab them from non RH sources if required.

Apparently, no one runs any php/mysql websites on RedHat systems, or 
maybe they just like alienating their customer base (they've sure been 
annoying me!  Not just with the removal of the SQL servers, but with 
their total lack of mentioning such a major step in *ANY* online manual, 
migration guides, readme files, etc).
