Okay. We'll go with this one then. RHEL and CentOS backport fixes to keep applications at a current functional level. Most updates are bug fixes that do not change functionality. This is not the case with fedora. CentOS and Fedora can both release an update to fix a bug in apache. CentOS's fix will address just that vulnerability, changing functionality no more than absolutely necessary. Fedora may fix the same flaw by taking the opportunity to update to a new version of apache, introducing several new features, or changing the behavior of the application. The updates for both systems will be nearly identical in size. Now which one is more stable? -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
