Fedora a beta for RHEL?Fedora a beta for RHEL?Posted Dec 1, 2009 19:19 UTC (Tue) by dowdle (subscriber, #659)In reply to: RHEL6 by miguelzinho Parent article: Between Fedora 12 and 13
Fedora is considered the "upstream" of RHEL... and so far as any "upstream" is a perpetual beta of a "downstream", ok... call it whatever you want. I guess that makes Ubuntu a perpetual beta of Debain? No? Why not?
In any event, there are a large number of differences between Fedora and RHEL. Take the biggest difference is the number of packages. If you want to call Fedora a beta for RHEL, call 1/10th of it a beta for RHEL because the other 9/10ths aren't even part of RHEL. I'm just guessing with those percentages... I haven't actually run the exact package numbers but you get the point.

~ 2500 in RHEL vs ~ 16000 binary packages in Fedora.

While these extra packages are not officially part of RHEL, they considerably increase the number of packages directly usable on RHEL.
