Of course they are quite different in those areas. But when RHEL5 came 
out it felt and looked a lot like a slightly modified and enhanced 
Fedora Core 5 or 6 (which it was)-- that is want I meant ;-)

Well, if things continue like in the past two years then the younger 
generation will only learn the Debian and Ubuntu way; that will 
influence the decisions which Linux distribution to take when those 
people get older and become decisions makers (the Wikipedia change is a 
good example for it afaics). Hence Red Hat and Fedora afaics really need 
to change some things become a bit more popular again if Red Hat wants 
to continue making money in the long run ;-)
