the server equivalent to Fedora is, of course, RHEL or CentOS.    CentOS 
6.2 is working very well for us for a range of stuff.

JDK7, I dunno, we're still using JDK 6 and trying very hard to stay away 
from bleeding edge proprietary features.  I sure don't see anything here 
we need for our work: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/features/

but, any version of java can be installed on most anything... JDK's just 
need to be untarred somewhere (we'll put unpackaged ones in /opt/something)
