So are you saying that the Fedora release is the testing ground for
RHEL, by approx 1 year ahead of the RHEL releases?
Fedora is upstream for RHEL (ie) RHEL is a derivative distribution of
Fedora and every third release of Fedora or so is the basis of the
subsequent RHEL release too. The exact time period varies. Fedora
releases are 6 months apart and RHEL releases are 12 to 18 months
apart from each other.
So if I learn Fedora Linux administration, would that cover me for
passing RHCE exams?
Not really, no. You probably want RHEL or a rebuild of it.

Thankyou for that Rahul. Can I download RHEL and use that on my own
machine at home without having to pay for a license?
No. Well, maybe.*
You can download the source from ftp.redhat.com and build it yourself.
You can download the binaries created by others from the RHEL source and
use it on any machine at all without a licence from RH. Centos.org is a
good place for the latter.
There is also Scienfific Linux which, like CentOS, is built from RHEL
source, but which has additional packages of value to the scientfic
community.
Will either cover you from RHEL exams. I don't know.
*I've not checked recently, there may be an evaluation licence available.
Check at www.redhat.com
Thanks for that John. I'm just interested about passing the
RHCE exams. Something I'm toying with to consider doing some
time later.
Kind Regards
Keith Roberts
