Join the club!  Debian is a weird beast.  Things are all in the wrong
places, and apt is bizarre.  (But that's because I'm a RH guy since
1999, so RH stuff is all second nature.  "YMMV".)

Yes, from all you said Fedora will do just fine for your internal
server.  If it fields no external requests (isn't your router, not an
MTA, web server, etc; and no net client s/w like web browser, MUA) then
you even mitigate one of the cons -- the must-update-every-year thing --
because if hackers can't easily reach the box you don't have to be as
strict about rapid upgrades... you can probably let it slip an extra
release version.

No problem.  I'm sure others will be able to provide opinions as well.
