Given the cost and ease of setup, CentOS is a great choice, using one of the machines as a server and the other as clients. CentOS is very robust, and can be configured for one machine to hundreds, so to ear mark it as only a Enterprise package is wrong, and no there isn't a great deal of setup

Go with CentOS on all machines, not only the servers. The turnaround time for Fedora is a tad bit high IMO. I assume your time is not without limits, and with CentOS you'll be supported till like 2014 with patches and stuff IIRC. Fedora is 1,5yrs/release I think. If you can afford it, use RHEL on
