I think the browsers run for most everyone else. I suggest filing a bug report, or alternatively asking for help on fedora-list (the user list; this is the development list)... there are thousands of bugs out there, if everyone panicked about RHEL vs. Fedora every time they saw one, this list would have no other traffic ;-) The difference between Fedora and RHEL isn't really what bugs there are but what promises you have about how/when/by-whom they are fixed. With Fedora, the fix is normally by upgrade to a new version. With RHEL, it would normally be by backporting a minimal patch to the old version to avoid introducing new risks/changes. With Fedora, help or bugfixes come according to whether other people are interested in fixing your problem; with RHEL, there are various levels of SLA available from Red Hat that make commitments about how support requests will be handled. Fedora normally has bleeding-edge versions, which means it will often have a lot of fixes not in old versions, but also is likely to have new bugs. See http://fedora.redhat.com/about/rhel.html for the full story. Havoc
