[Vserver] The $64,000 dollar question

Thanks to all for your help and suggestions on copying Vserver guests.
So far it has worked quite well.

I'm now on to newer things which brings me to the "question." What
distribution should I use for the Host?

With Daniel's excellent repository(s) I have been using Fedora Core 5.
I has been very stable and makes any work in the host easy. And then
the guests get FC5 which with vyum makes them very easy to to
maintain/enhance.
    But I just went through a repository hell trying to update the host.
  Not sure what was going on but I suspect that with FC5 at end-of-life
this will happen more often.

So the big question is which (preferably YUM-able) distribution should I
use for the host? I'm currently thinking CentOS 5 as it has an
end-of-life in about 5 years. I hope to be retired by then. :-) Plus I
believe I read that it is actually supported in Daniel's repository.

   And does it make sense to use an _older_ distribution in the guests
that don't change much?

Thanks for your insights,
Rod
