primarily because FC3 is on the bleeding edge of where RH is going, whereas RH9 is stable and not in a state of development flux. That being the case its far easier to learn the basics on a more stable platform rather than having to learn on a platform that most certainly has quirks as FC3 certainly does.
It's a tradeoff. The GUI config tools on FC3 are much more advanced and nicer to use, and for support for new hardware, there's no contest.
And new software, too. Sure, you can get Firefox packaged up for RHL9, but it's really really easy for FC3.
agreed... however it'd be easier for new folks if the development cycle were just a bit protracted. But then thats where the fun is! :)
