Isn't RH Enterprise just the commercial version of Fedora? I really
don't see the difference with what they're doing unless I have this
whole thing wrong.
The way I see it, if you use Fedora, it's no different than the
Enterprise edition except the updates are handled through RH. I mean if
there is a bug, the community finds it, posts it, fixes it. I'm sure
that RH will contribute to the bug fixes to Fedora. I think it's a
smart move on their part to keep costs down.
