Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux both come from a base of code that
stems from the Red Hat Linux legacy. The two distributions have different
goals and audiences and may drift farther apart over time. For the time
being, however, Fedora includes features being developed for future Red
Hat Enterprise Linux releases.
Fedora is intended to include the latest Linux technology and to be a proving
ground for features slated to go into Red Hat Enterprise Linux products. It is
a freely distributed operating system for the Linux community.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Although it is sponsored and directed by Red Hat, Inc., the Fedora Project encourages community
involvement. The latest Fedora includes many more features than Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but
those features have less guarantee of stability and no guarantee of support.
