I'm pretty much OK with your summary...except for the last paragraph. I

"Deployment in
a large enterprise". If that is one of the intentions, I would like
to know
where it is stated.
It isn't, hence the necessity for Ubuntu or other distribution that is
intended to be usable. I just think the fedora developers could do it
better and keep the RH style administration so more people would be
potential customers for RHEL on their servers.
I doubt customers of RHEL use Fedora as their decision making criteria. I
know none of projects I've been involved with at large enterprises have done
so.
Did a consultant or in-house employee make the decision? I deploy the
servers in our company, and the time it would take to learn the details
of administration on a different distribution is very much a factor.
Along that line, that has also been the case for other consultants I've
talked with. I don't feel my experience is unique.
Consultants don't mind having more billable hours... And they probably
prefer that the companies paying them have no in-house expertise.
FWIW, I wouldn't deploy Ubuntu at a large enterprise either.....
What would you deploy that has firefox 2.x OpenOffice 2.2, and other
current desktop applications?
