Fedora 13 64 bit – Very well written, offers more flexibility than Windows or Mac OS. I prefer the Fedora editions of Linux to most other versions due to the well rounded set of packages, the technology employed, and the stability. The price of most Linux distributions is FREE. Fedora 13 implements full native support for hardware and software RAID arrays. The latest versions of KDE and Gnome are part of the distribution. Fedora 13 is scheduled to release on May 25, 2010. Despite that, it is a very solid OS at this point.
Fedora 12 64 bit – Off to a shaky start. It was not ready for prime time on release day, but it’s become much more polished in the past couple months. This is the release of Fedora that I currently use for my production desktop and server environments. I seriously doubt I will have the 262 day uptime on my LAMPs I did with Fedora 11 64bit but Fedora 11 is dated at this point. Many bugs written against Fedora 11 are currently being closed as “won’t fix”.
