My understanding is that Fedora has all the features of 9, plus. The point
of the Fedora releases is to be on the bleeding edge, all the newest
packages with the newest features. It's essentially beta testing stuff for
consideration of inclusion in RHEL, which is why Red Hat sponsors it. I've
found it to be fairly stable, but they have a very rapid release cycle for
it, and old versions will reach EOL very rapidly. So, in a business
enironment it may not be ideal, unless you don't mind annual upgrades. Some
businesses don't mind this, it seems like a box rarely lasts longer than a
year where I work due to rapid growth and change within the company.
However, fedoralegacy.org will supposedly be maintaining packages for Fedora
for two releases, so they will keep producing updates for Fedora 1 and
Fedora 2 after they hit EOL, until Fedora 3 hits EOL, then they will support
Fedora 2 and 3. This should help slow down things a little bit for Fedora.
You can look at http://fedora.redhat.com for more info on their release
cycle, and http://www.fedoralegacy.org for more info on that project.
