Software.
RHEL provides only a small fraction of the packages available in
Fedora. Even worse, RH disables features that Fedora has and RH
aggressively removes the `-devel` packages. When I tried building
software on CentOS, I had to patch and rebuild a bunch of Fedora
packages, patch and rebuild some CentOS packages, and rebuild some
more CentOS packages for packages that builds but doesn’t ship before
I could even begin. I found this to be a waste of time and not
sustainable.
As far as Ubuntu goes, I would probably choose Debian. But I am more
comfortable with rpm than apt, and have yet to find a good guide on
how to build my own `.deb` packages.
I also find it easier to manage the stream of small changes that come
with Fedora instead of the flood of changes that come with a new RHEL
release.

I used RHEL cones for years. They DROVE ME CRAZY.
RHEL locked in older versions of code, bugs and
all. Things never improved. And Red hat
is very difficult to get to fix anything unless
you put one of them on your payroll, which no
individual or small business can do.
I upgraded to Fedroa and I still am tickled
when I start it. And it has been sevarl
years. EVERYTHING WORKS (well almost).
I set up Fedora (as a) server by first just
installing Xfce from Live Xfce. Then I install
whatever server software I need.
And if you want to pull a RHEL with Fedora,
just don't upgrade it.
