As you are already quite comfortable with RH 7.3, you will be equally as
comfortable with Fedora 1. 

Cyrus will compile just fine on a Fedora system as long as the requisite
*-devel packages are in place. rpmfind.net has ready to go binaries for
fedora core 1 of cyrus (plain and login support) as well as the cram-md5
and digest-md5 version for cyrus-sasl.

Excellent platform. Different enough that the learning curve will
complicate the transition.

No clue. Never heard of until now. It is based on RedHat 3 enterprise.
RH3 is a rock solid platform. The only drawback to the Tao version is it
appears to be a 1 person show. You will need to watch for RH3 updates,
get the src.rpm's and build yourself the new new versions.
