To those made ill by the buzzwords - the quote in the submission is actually from the tongue-in-cheek opening of the announcement sent to the rhl/fedora mailing lists. It's supposed to make you ill.

If you aren't sure what the Fedora Project is supposed to be, the best place for info (rather than uninformed speculation) is, lo and behold, http://fedora.redhat.com . Yes there will be ISOs for download, the next beta (scheduled for release this week) should be branded Fedora, though there may be some packages that still say redhat.

To those saying RH Enterprise products are too expensive, tell Red Hat's accountants. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you how there's no way any one would buy their stuff at those prices.

Also, $2000 per year for a Web server is not correct. RHEL AS is indeed priced at $1499 and $2499, depending on service levels, etc., but RHEL ES is available for $349 and $799 a year.
