how comes this impression?

i am running fedora since many years as workstations and also for routers,
firewalls, webservers, telephony servers, dns-servers, web-servers and all
other things you imagine a computer can do

why not?

there is the linux kernel and a bundle of opensource software
finally they are all the same and differs in their version
and upgrade intervals - but there is not single fundamental
difference between running sama on fedora, suse, ubuntu....
