Correct, official "support", i.e. guaranteed errata and phone-em-up help will be for RHEL only, as I understand it. >Are they going to stop taking primary responsibility for RedHat >updates etc. to the desktop OS? They will "sponsor" Fedora, which is just Red Hat Linux 9.1/10 relabeled so far. If you want a rough equivalence, then: Fedora Core 1 == Red Hat Linux 10, next 3 months Fedora Core 2 == Red Hat Linux 11, next 9 months, 2.6 kernel Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 == Fedora Core 3 == Red Hat Linux 12, next 15 months Caveat: this is all my own guesswork and might change. The reason for not having further point versions (9.1) is that there's no ongoing expectation of compatibility between releases. You won't be able to drop in Fedora Core 3 over Fedora Core 2 and just expect everything to work. Check out http://fedora.redhat.com/ for more info. Cheers, Phil
