You should not use Fedora for a production system as you are describing. You should instead use RHEL, buy the support from Red Hat. This way you get a stable system that will have support for the next year or two. And please setup a test environment where you apply updates prior to rolling them out to production. This gives you a chance to identify problems before they cause systems to go down and people to get hurt. Blindly running yum update on a production system is not best practice. -- Scot L.
