I will be using Fedora for my personal boxes.  Remember, Red Hat will be
providing *significant* assistance to the Fedora project.  The perception
that RH is bailing on hobbyists and small business users is just not true
from what I have read.  It's just that they are focusing on commercial
users.

I for one believe that the F/OSS community will benefit from the move to a
community-supported distro based on RHL.  New software and new versions of
existing software will be available sooner, and security updates will
still be available quickly.

I am seriously bummed about all the flak RH is taking.  The loudest gripes
I hear are pretty much false if you actually read the info at the Fedora
home page and the excellent article by Joe Barr at
http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/10/01/1417208&mode=thread&tid=51.

Me personally, I think this is a good move.

I am a dyed-in-the-wool Red Hat guy.  However, I came to that decision
after trying several distros including *BSD.  All I can tell you is, try
several distros and see what you like.  Try Fedora, try Debian, try SUSE,
try Slackware, etc. and then make your choice.
