Well, there is plenty of help online with good how-to guides for 
installations.

I personally run it on CentOS 4 (basically the same as RHEL 4), so it's 
mainly a matter of preference. In my opinion, it's easy to install and 
maintain on RHEL. But that's my favorite OS and what I'm used to. Check 
out the install guides above and choose the best that suits your needs, 
or the Linux OS that you are most familiar with.

Keep in mind that the Fedora flavors aren't meant to be supported for 
long periods of time, so you might be better off with an enterprise 
level Linux install.
