Fedora is the Redhat/Community supported free distro.  As it gets more and
more kinks worked out it's used as the basis for Red Hat Enterprise.

Whitebox is just another open source distro based on the SRPMs provided by
Red Hat.  I prefer CentOS as it seems to be better supported by community.

Red Hat Enterprise is the offical paid distro from Red Hat.  You get
support from RH and the various vendors.  Use it if you have something
very mission critical and you don't want to hear the phrase "we don't
support that".
