As I understand it, Fedora is a "development" version of RHEL?
When I was testing it a while ago, I read that "The Fedora Project is to
develop and mature the latest, greatest technologies that may be
incorporated later into products like Red Hat Enterprise Linux." i.e. any
bugs reported will be fixed & incorporated into RHEL. Also there isn't
*any* kind of formal support for The Fedora Project, which is
why some say Fedora is not really suitable for newbies.
