Fedora Core (FC) is the "experimental hamster" for RHEL.  RH Enterprise
Linux 3 (AS or ES 3) was based on Fedora Core 1 (which was originally
going to be called Red Hat Linux 10), and RHEL 4 is based on FC3, but
RHEL and FC are not the same thing.  FC is where Red Hat tries things
out.  Once the stuff becomes proven and stable in FC, the next version
of RHEL comes out based on it.  Those of us who use FC are "at the
pointy end of the stick".  FC is NOT supported by Red Hat.

Can you use FC1 updates for your RHEL 3 system?  No, not if you want to
continue your support from Red Hat.  Will it work?  Well, yes, but
you'll have lots of dependency things to sort out on your own AND Red
Hat won't support the system any longer.

So, if you have RHEL AND a service contract, stick with the up2date
updates you get from Red Hat.  If you wish to strike out on your own,
Fedora Core 4 is the latest stable release of FC and it works well.

Your call, kemosabe.
