- I don't own RHEL 4 or 5 - that's out
- FC4 & FC5 are no longer supported (just found that out on the fedora forum)
- possibly use Ubuntu 6 (LTS) - but I've never used Ubuntu as a server, only Fedora.
- No experience with the other OSes...
So - Should I stay with an non-update FC4 or FC5? Or can I use a newer version of Fedora? I have F8 on another server and it works great. Or I can try Ubuntu...
All things being equal, I would prefer to use Fedora 8.
Thanks for any help with this,

You could always use
CentOS5 for the new server (it's free and binary compatible with RHEL5), as a long term supported operating system it's far better than using a consumer grade o/s.
One idea would be to install your new o/s on the new server the install VMware Server (it's free) then install your FC4 as a VM. You could then install Zimbra on the host o/s, a bit long winded and I'd make sure you had plenty of RAM but it should be fairly easy.
