Regards Roger It depends on your own personal needs, and what level of guarantee you need. If you absolutely require long term support and can't upgrade with each release every n months, or don't want to risk wether the Fedora Legacy projects will be suitable enough for your needs or not, then perhaps RHEL is best for your purposes. However if you can upgrade when new releases come out, and are willing to accept updates that sometimes will be new versions instead of backported security fixes, and other similar changes, then perhaps Fedora Core is adequate enough for your needs. -- Mike A.
