version of RedHat enterprise. Its very close to fedora for usability, although
(I think) there are less updates and changes due to the enterprise nature.
Although you do end up rebuilding kernels to get more recent ones, and for that
I just drop on the fedora’s anyway. I guess depends if you want 100%
package management, or if you don’t mind having to build some pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></b></p>
