While the two products are - not - the same, Red Hat has announced that it will base RHEL 4 on Fedora Core 3. In a similar vein, RHEL 3 is based on Red Hat Linux 9. I remember doing a diff on the package names, and about 25% were identical (and I think another 25% were similar enough to make little difference). RHEL 3 final ended up with about 400 fewer packages. The beta for RHEL 4 certainly looks similar to FC 3. Whether RHEL 4 final follows the same pattern is TBD. Thanks, Mike
