Just out of curiosity, who is going to be administering this server?  Are
you, or the person setting up this server?  If this other person is the one
who is going to be administering the box, and they're more familiar with
Fedora, I'd say let them use it.  There is unlikely to be much difference
(if the LTSP versions are the same) between the two.  The biggest difference
between Ubuntu, which is Debian-based and Fedora, which is RedHat-based is
the package-management each uses.  Ubuntu uses Debian's package management,
apt, while Fedora uses RedHat's package management, rpm.

If *YOU* are going to be the one administering the server, pick the
distribution *YOU* are most comfortable with.
