redhat vs fedora install packages

[A.Fadyushin at it-centre.ru]

Now the servers are running under FC4 but I am considering the upgrading
(without reinstallation) to FC5. The process of upgrading began about
five years ago from RH6 distribution, so I sequentially upgraded the
servers without reinstalling them through all RH7.x, RH9 and FC1-3
versions.
