I used Red Hat 9. Before I upgraded to Fedora, I did read lots of documentation from the Red Hat site. What I understood was: 1. Red Hat is not giving support (Red Hat X)to these distros from next April. 2. If you are using them you can upgrade to Fedora (distro for the community, people who use Red Hat without paying for support and downloading from the Internet. Let's say this project is closer to Debian, although Red Hat still collaborates heavily in its development. 3. You also can upgrade to RHEL WS/ES/AS. This distros are oriented for people (or organizations) that need and pay for serious support from Red Hat. I suppose these distros will not be available for free download as Fedora is, (I am not sure 100% of this), instead they will be for purchase at the store shelves. I hope this answers your questions. If this is not correct I would appreciate someone giving us some light. As I said, I read a lots of documentation from the Red Hat site, but is not 100% clear and I am not a native English speaker, so I might have misunderstood something... Best regards.
