We use MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/) in house and also provide 
it for those libraries in our consortium that want a wiki and host their 
websites on our servers.  At the moment it's installed on a couple of 
servers running Fedora Core 6 and one running Fedora Core 7.

<note>
Fedora has proven quite stable for our servers.  However, it is bleeding 
edge and the upgrade cycle runs at a pretty quick pace.  We're gradually 
shifting to CentOS with it's longer cycle, it just hasn't reached all 
the servers yet.  Since CentOS is based on the Redhat code base which 
is, in turn, based in large part on the Fedora code base, it should work 
the same once it reaches those servers.

...hope that helps.
