Not really. If you have sufficient resources (disk, memory, processing
power) on your desktop, then you can run fedora, and a virtual copy of
Centos (which runs just fine under kvm on F7). If you don't have
hardware assisted virtualization, you can still run vmware, qemu, xen,
etc.
So when Fedora won't boot you lose both. Brilliant.
You have heard of rescue cds, I trust, and backups. Actual disk
corruption is extremely rare, these days, but if that were a concern you
could always put your server image on a seperate partition. The chances
of actually losing something are pretty minimal. Down time could be a
bit higher, especially as you tend to reboot fedora systems to install
new kernels or hal, etc.
There's losing and there's really losing. If Fedora won't boot, you have
the services of neither until it's fixed.
A little shore of Best Practice.
