Fedora or OpenSolaris?

I have a small web server that I'd like to re-image w/ either Fedora 9 or OpenSolaris 10.
Nothing fancy, just some static pages for my side job.

Was leaning towards Fedora 9 because I'm more familiar w/ Linux, and I was already running RHEL 3.
I want to consider OpenSolaris because of its ZFS support.

Any Linux / Unix experts out there that can give me some suggestions?
 
I would avoid Fedora because of the quick release cycles and more limited QA. And I'd avoid Solaris just because it's Solaris. Personally I'd go for Debian because I can't stand RHEL but if you're already familiar with RHEL why not just go with CenOS?
 
Maybe I'm just spoiled from using Debian for so long but the package management is terrible. And the config files are really stupid, but that's just a lot of what I'm used to. Setting an IP is just about as stupidly counter-intuitive as it could possibly be. Because instead of something straightforward like /etc/network/interfaces you instead give it an IP in a /etc/hostname.xxx file. And /etc/hosts. And /etc/netmask. And /etc/nodename. Oh, you wanted a gateway? /etc/defaultrouter.

As a full-time solaris user, I agree. I would recommend that you only go to Solaris if you have a good reason for it. There are few such reasons.
