As I see it the paid for products are going to have a longer guaranteed life span with updates and fixes. FC is basically a test bed for tech that will eventually end up in the Enterprise products line.
My only catch is the annual fee. SuSE enterprise server is less that US$400 per year. I am not sure how there can be such a large price range.

I almost hate to ask this question on this list, but I've looked in the archives and can't find it. I've looked at this chart here:

My question is:
Other than getting the paid support, is there any real reason to buy Redhat Enterprise Linux WS or Redhat Linux Desktop as opposed to just using Fedora IN A DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT? (not a server)
The comparison chart doesn't really do a great job of prompting me to take out my credit card. I don't get it. Is it just that the commercial versions are supposedly more stable and have more packages available for them or ... ?
If this question has been asked before, just tell me so and shoot me the URL off-list or on-list and I'll happily RTFM, but I have looked and no can find.
