Fedora Server for production use?
-
The trick in the wording is that 16.04 is "partial" support for two years, while "current" gets full support for 6-9 months. So for full support, it's a twice a year release process. If limited or partial support (security stuff gets patched, they will help when stuff is easy) is enough, LTS can suffice. But since current gets total support (including bugs you find, stability issues and such that are not covered with LTS) and you get the latest technology, it's a win/win.

Interesting: Fedora 25 starts to panic with RAM < 512MB at the beginning of the kernel init phase, even in text mode. Just had a look at the manual which clearly says that Fedora requires 1GB of RAM.
Looks like I'm out of luck and have to stick to Ubuntu / Debian.
Another thing to note is with RHEL/CentOS 7.3 they recommend a 1GB boot partition instead of 512MB.
Just an aside.

Should work as long as you keep an eye on it. Ubuntu for example likes to keep old kernel and initrd images there until you clean them up (e.g. apt autoclean etc)

Ya I usually keep 3 and remove the others but I think the images are getting big enough they needed to adjust the size. If you do anew install it defaults to 1GB.
