Why would anyone be sorry for using a RedHat based OS? I'm quite happy

SMP is in the "processor type and features" page (in case you used 'make
menuconfig' or 'make xconfig' ), and so is the high mem option.
SMP should be enabled by default in a vanilla kernel..

For a minimal fedora base server, just select custom and disable
everything besides kernel development. That will get you gcc and tools
so you can compile stuff. Since you're going to have yum after install,
you can get what you missed later on. At least that's how i install my
systems.
