Fedora Server is from the Fedora Project, which is a community sponsored
largely by Red Hat -- but Fedora Server is _not_ a Red Hat product.
Fedora Server serves as the "upstream" for RHEL. RHEL is released every
three years, and Fedora Server every six months. Red Hat choses a version of
the Fedora OS and branches it into RHEL, which is then supported for ten
years.
When do I use RHEL?
When you need a supported operating system with certifications,
partnerships, a long lifecycle, and the other value provided by a Red Hat
subscription.
When do I use Fedora Server?
When you want to follow the latest open source code and preview what might
land in RHEL in the future, when you are okay with self- and
community-support, and when you don't mind updating to new versions every
year.
