Yes.

RHEL is a commercial project, with licenses and the whole software company
thing.

FC is a "bleeding edge" project, with the latest and greatest (and
unstablest....is that a word?)  stuff in it.  You *can*, however, do regular
updates through apt-rpm and yum.

I'm using FC2 & 3 in production, becase if it came down to it, I could
update what I have to whatever version I want...no troubles.

Subject: [ale] Question on Current Red Hat Update Policies

I abandoned RH for my home use when they let go of the home user market and
now I am faced with having to use them for a project.  I have downloaded
RHEL 3 and Fedora Core 3 and was wondering if one needs to buy a
subscription to update RHEL or not.  I was also wondering what (if any)
differences there are between RHEL and FC besides the official RH company
support for RHEL.

TIA,

Greg
