I would encourage you to check out the "University Linux" mailing
list and archives if you are interested in this topic. Please
visit https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/univ-linux

Yes, dulug (Duke University Linux Users Group) has been doing
some terrific work in the area of coordination and development
for university oriented linux distros.

I hope this helps.

Good comments so far. Some pointers:

Availability of the third Fedora Core test release (codename Severn)
via BitTorrent (especially great for the day of release):

http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/severn-binary-iso.torrent
http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/severn-src-iso.torrent

The main concern I see with Fedora is the question of is how easy it
will be to get security patches/errata for old releases, and how long they
will be available.

That is still being worked out:

I would think that the risk would be small for vanilla servers, but
we'll have to see what they deliver, and what the competition does,
and where developers and users focus their energy. It certainly
does make me pay more attention to Debian. And with Novell
buying SuSE....
