Wow, I really must be out of the loop. New versions of RHEL every 4-6 months?
Damn. I left Fedora because their release schedule was too frequent ...
The Fedora releases change behavior wildly with each release. The point of enterprise versions is that they maintain backwards compatibility even if they add some new features.
Yes, the RHEL releases are akin to the service packs of MS Windows. You'll get some new features and a few changes, but it'll still be the same basic system. Fedora releases are more like moving from Windows XP to Vista, or more precisely, from a reasonably mature Windows XP to a Beta release of Vista.
