Every distribution that puts out releases is an alpha for RHEL, they just happen like many major Linux deployments to take advantage of the fine work produced by the Fedora Project. RHEL is a derived product of the Fedora platform, just like the One Laptop Per Children OS and the Linux that Yellow Dog is producing to go on every single PS3. Fedora is a powerful platform, I find it degrading and insulting to the Fedora community that people reduce the fine work to "merely a RHEL beta", if it was that nobody else would use it, yet every major Linux deployment in recent history has been on a Fedora derived system. What Red Hat calls their niche product in relation to Fedora given their longer development cycle has no baring on the absolutely fantastic OS Fedora gives people for any purpose, be that building their own niche product or installing Fedora on their systems. - David Nielsen
