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?
You have several options. Either you can sign up for a 30-day
evaluation of Red Hat Developer Connection (which includes RHEL and a
bunch of other cool developer stuff) at
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/industries/developer/products/basic.html
You can contact your sales rep and ask him/her to set up a 30-day RHEL
only eval.
You can get a RHEL only eval at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/eval/
If you are or your child is a student, you can get an academic
subscription for all of $30 for desktop or $60 for server at
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/education/academic/individual/ - see
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/education/academicqualification/ for
what it takes to qualify for a student subscription.
Thanks John. Will check those links out soon.
