While there is a clear economic logic for Redhat's sponsorship of
Fedora, it's irrelevant. FC is community supported. Any resources that
RH provides are certainly a positive. At the end of the day it's a
pretty good deal for the user, Redhat and the Linux community.

My own experiences with Mandrake are quite different from yours btw.

Ultimately, distribution selection depends upon the user. None are
perfect for everyone. I have FC2 installed on two servers and several
workstations and I am quite pleased with the results.
