Although Redhat compares Fedora and RH Enterprise at 
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/rhel.html I don't think it's a fork of RH 
Enterprise.  It's more like a fork (or replacement?) for Redhat X.

Redhat says:

    A global steering committee at Red Hat decided that Red Hat Linux was
    suffering from too many compromises as a retail "product", and that we
    should redirect our efforts at creating a community-based project.

It will be interesting to see what their idea of a community based project is 
and how successfull they are at attracting outside help.  Will they get the 
support and volume of developers that Debian has?

Anyone know if there will continue to be a product called Redhat (as in RH7, 
RH8, RH9)?  Or will there be just RHE and Fedora?  I wouldn't see a point in 
continuing to make Redhat releases if they are maintaining Fedora.
