exactly whats going on, since redhat's official communications have been
so lame. I guess you can't entirely fault them since their sales teams
primary goal is to move people to RHEL.
However, the developers are all about Fedora. I just thought I'd share
what I've figured out from wasting too much time on the fedora lists.
Fedora == Redhat 10 with a little debian thrown in. Just no phone
support from redhat, and a fairly short time period for offical errata.
