Kara Schiltz forwarded[1] an article discussing innovations in Fedora 14 alpha:
"Fedora is the free version of Red Hat, whose RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) has been a commercial product since 2003. Because of that close connection, Fedora is particularly strong on enterprise features, and it often offers them before RHEL does.
