It's certainly not selfish if you want run production servers...it just

You question implies there are only those two options available, which
might not be true. In this case your question would be inane.
I would neither assume Fedora being RedHat's *beta* playing ground nor
would I use it for a server, which I *must* rely on.
I use it as my workstation OS and for my home server - I think that was
the goal of Fedora and it does it job fair enough.
Actually, Fedora _is_ the beta stuff for RHEL. There is no RHEL beta
stuff...it's either RHEL or it's Fedora. Example: RHEL5 is essentially
Fedora Core 6.
Of course, I look more at it as a "technology preview" rather than beta,
but I'm weird.
There is in fact a 6 month or so long beta process for RHEL for every
major release and a smaller beta period for minor releases. A recent
