You are talking nonsense if by "modern" you mean "recent".
My daughter just bought an Asus laptop (1015BX) with 1GB RAM installed, and a maximum 2GB RAM installable.
here is the question why buying crap these days?
my co-worker bought last year a notebook with 4 GB RAM normal HP machine around 800 € a year ago
My daughter's Asus notebook cost under €300, I think around €275. It appears to serve her needs perfectly.
I don't consider Fedora suitable for a server.
your opinion
and I suspect that of most people who have to make this choice.
if you need a recent software stack and have to compile all things at your won while libraries are outdated you are going through hell
I find CentOS-6 has everything I need on a server. I don't feel any urge to re-compile libraries. I have complete confidence that RedHat will do this for me if necessary. If I want to do anything fancy I do it on a laptop.
