Anyone know the difference(s), if any, between RedHat Enterprise Server 4.0 and RedHat FedoraCore 4? :?:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is Red Hat's enterprise-level, commercially-supported operating system (OS) distribution.

Fedora Core is a community-developed Linux distribution--a collection of software packages aggregated into an installable CD/DVD image.

Fedora Extras is a community-developed collection of additional software packages that can be added on top of Fedora Core.

Re:What's the diff???

Thanks for the reply doc. Let me clarify what I am looking for - I am wondering if a proprietary product that is fully supported on RHES will run on Fedora (server-based). I understand the licensing but need to know of any technical or architectural differences.

TIA

Re:What's the diff???

If you want a free work alike to RHEL you should look at CentOS. Fedora releases fairly often and its libraries are most likely different from an RHEL release and thus you may run into difficulties using an application compiled for RHEL on a Fedora machine. CentOS is a free recompile of RHEL so things meant for RHEL should work on the equivalent CentOS release.

Agree, Michael is correct. RHEL is on a longer release cycle and Fedora is on a 6 mo. cycle. CentOS usually is a couple months behind RHEL.
