Hi
I would echo that last comment. Switched from Fedora to Centos a while 
back and administer a whole bunch of (mainly) Centos 3.5 server running 
Plesk etc for web hosting etc..

No real difference in terms of maintenance. All the usual update tools 
apply ie. yum etc... and the config files are all in the same place ;o)

A good choice IMHO.
