Does there exist anywhere a list or comparison about which Releases of
Fedora correspond to what Releases of RHEL?
I would not directly compare those, as they are so much far in term of bundled versions.
not entirely
RHEL5 is based on Fedora Core 6
RHEL6 is based on F12/F13
Thanks, that is the answer I need. I just did not know what the direct
comparison was! That should give me the fire power to sell him on Fedora 16
which as I said my whole shop is running at home.
Getting him to go with Fedora 18 just is not going to happen
Fedora 16 is no longer getting security updates, RHEL6 is. If you want stable,
RHEL or its free cousins like CentOS-6 are the way to go.
I would normally tell you to go with FC17 and not upgrade until it hit EOL and
goes out of support. However, given the problems reported by a number of users
in upgrading from FC17 to FC18, and the generally stable behavior I have seen
from FC18, I would suggest going that way and avoid an upgrade and support issues.
FC17 will lose support soon, FC18 is quite stable, the new FC19, like any new
release, will have rough spots which may be tricky to fix. Lacking a reason to
run the latest, run the most stable with some support life. You have no reason
to run an old release, either, unsupported is not a positive thing.
