If this is truly going to be a server and you expect it to have a decent
lifespan (i.e. more than 6 months to a year) then don't use Fedora Core
anything,

If it's truly going to be a server, it doesn't want a "popular" distro
with lots of cycle-wasting eye-candy. The more sh!t you have running on
a server, the more things you have to secure because there are more things
to exploit. X does not belong on a server. Period.

Being unpopular doesn't make a distro use less resources. Probably quite
the opposite. Where did you get the insane notion that only popular
distro's have eye-candy or that they can't be configured in a server
role?
