Actually that was Oracle's excuse for creating their own so-called
"Unbreakable License".   They say that RedHat updates too often and FC
even more so.   A lot of folks like CentOS because it doesn't update as
frequently as FC (but presumably does as frequently as RedHat since it
is based RedHat source RPMS).   Haven't used CentOS myself.   I haven't
met an FC that I didn't like yet though it does annoy me that F7
(they've dropped the "core") now only comes in DVD and Live CD versions
- no full set of CDs available.

Heres a question: Why does the world need so many FC versions? I mean 
there seems to be a new version of the FC os ever friggen month, who is 
actually keeping up with that? Why can't they have one version for a 
while and, say, have updates containing the newer stuff, like they used 
to in the good pre FC RedHat days :)
