The existence (or lack of) upgrade path is not the problem. The
problem is that you must  upgrade the whole system (the whole Fedora
Core Linux) to a new version every 10 months or so, as no more
official patches will come out from Fedora Core team/Red Hat inc[*]
for that version.  Full OS upgrdes are a pain.

CentOS, for people used to Red Hat Linux, is known territory. And
supported for 5 years. No OS upgrades for 5 years!!

CentOS is very nice for home server usage, as you are using
enterprise-grade Linux, the Red Hat/Fedora flavour .

CentOS also servers well as training grounds to try out RHEL before
convincing PHB to get RHEL support contracts.

[*] Yes, I know of Fedora Legacy Project but:

a) it's very short on voluntiers
b) drops many releases of Fedora Core per lack of voluntiers
c) is kinda slow in releasing updates



Salut,
Josep
