We've been here before. Fedora is better in some circumstances, CentOS is  
better in others.  Fedora will require more frequent updates, but that can  
be a Good Thing: look at the update frequency of MailScanner :)

Please remember that we don't all run MailScanner on dedicated-to-mail  
servers. In fact the beauty of MailScanner is that it doesn't need a  
server to itself, even with quite high mail volumes.

I've looked into the whole Fedora/CentOS issue regularly. For my use (web  
hosting mostly, requiring up-to-date packages, some e-mail) Fedora is much  
better suited to the job than CentOS. I can see that for others CentOS is  
they way to go, and Fedora would be silly. But we're not all doing the  
same things!

In any case, perl package update problems are much more to do with how  
perl is installed than the particular OS you're using. Yum and CPAN can  
break MailScanner on CentOS too.

Cheers!
