Surely with SELinux its going to be more secure than other distros ?
Many thanks in advance,

Applications are *far* lest tested before being allowed into Fedora. In
fact, part of the reason for Fedora's creation was to be a "bleeding
edge" test bed for Red Hat's Enterprise Linux. Only things that prove
reliable, stable and secure make it into RHEL.
So the reason not to use Fedora for a server is that it is not as
reliable or stable. Not to say it's bad, mind you. It's used as a
workstation OS for many, many people. However, a random crash, hang or
other problem is usually a mere nuisance. On a server, the same can't be
said.
