FC5.

also, can someone who's knowlegable tell me which version of RHEL is
comparable to FC4 and/or FC5?

The latest, RHEL4 is actually closest to FC3.

---------------Reply---------------

RHEL_4 is closest to FC3, and maybe 4. Their guide is - - work on CURRENT Fedora
goes into NEXT RHEL version. Centos keeps up with CURRENT RHEL, but does not
offer support, as does RedHat. As for choosing between FC4 & FC5, FC4 is more
stable, except with "Xen", the VM software. FC5 has ver_3.0 which will even let
you host MS Windows on top of Linux. Those are basically the choices you have in
that area.
