Should I use CentOS or Fedora?
I am thinking of using one of the Red Hat type systems and I'm relatively new to Linux but have heard how Fedora and CentOS are in a sense Red Hat based or their features are implimented into Red Hat in the future.
All I have heard is that Fedora is very cutting edge. I have tried Mandriva, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu in the past.
What is the difference between these 2 distros and is there a reason why I should go with one over the other?

CentOS is a clone of Red Hat but without the Red Hat logos and paid support channel.
Fedora is more cutting edge in nature and is more of a testing ground for Red Hat.
Which one you should use would be a matter of personal preference.oz

centos = enterprise OS
fedora = desktop OS
fedora is snapshotted and then stabilized, eventually becomes RHEL, which is where centos gets its sources
