Is Fedora Like Redhat?
Contents

Fedora is the main project, and it’s a communitity-based, free distro focused on quick releases of new features and functionality. Redhat is the corporate version based on the progress of that project, and it has slower releases, comes with support, and isn’t free.

Can I use Fedora to learn Red Hat?

Absolutely. These days, RHEL (and indirectly, CentOS) derives almost directly from Fedora, so learning Fedora will help give you an edge in future technologies in RHEL. Honestly, learning ANY Linux will teach you your way around ANY UNIX operating system, to a first approximation.

Which Linux distro is closest to Red Hat?

The CentOS Linux distribution provides a free, community-driven platform that shares functional compatibility to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
