But this is the Red Hat Entreprise Desktop (see above). The consumer 
version of RedHat isn't developed anymore (the last version was 9.0). 
Fedora is now the community developed successor of RedHat 9.

The difference is the following:

1. Enterprise RedHat costs much, much more than old consumer RedHat.
2. Enterprise RedHat isn't released often and is not uptodate (unlike 
Fedora).
3. Enterprise RedHat is commercially supported (unlike Fedora).
