Red Hat offers two versions of Linux, but only Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) comes with long-term support. Fedora is a faster-changing but free version that acts as a proving ground for new technology. Red Hat offers only short-term, limited support for Fedora, but volunteers on a project called Fedora Legacy tried to maintain the free version longer. The idea was that the free version would be something customers could rely on even after Red Hat's support ended. It didn't work out. .

Me either. If you want to run an ultra-stable, long-supported Red Hat distro and you don't want to pay for it, go with CentOS. If you want both bleeding-edge and long-term support, I say go with Debian Sid. Oh well, to each their own, I guess.
A guy in one of the college computing class had a laptop with him running some distro using GNOME. I asked him what distro it was and he said "This is Fedora 6". I asked why he uses it, and he said "I dunno".
