I will agree with that statement.  FC3 is just basically a wide area beta for RHEL4.  RHEL3 is based on FC2.  Things we find are 'fixed' before the next RHEL release comes out.  So if you want a 'stable' release, go with RHEL.  If you want to investigate and test systems, use FC.  I would NEVER use FC on a 24 x7 production system, but I would use it on a system that I could tolerate instability or better yet, for a system that is identical to my production system, with all installed software packages to make sure that the next RHEL release is not going to cause problems.  This not only assists my efforts for a better LINUX system, but helps the entire community at large.
