This is the first of three test releases before the final version of Fedora 9 this April. The alpha features many changes including KDE 4 by default, GNOME 2.21.4, support for creation of encrypted partitions and for resizing EXT2/EXT3/NTFS partitions during install, speed improvements to X, the Linux 2.6.24 kernel, and much more."

    Why would you use Fedora for a production server?
    Fedora has too short of a supported life for a server. I would recomend CentOS if you want a Red Hat like server install.
