Yes, Liam. It seems Mr. Marti has misunderstood our project. We are not working on a "Red Hat variant", but rather we are (in a sense) recycling Fedora (and Red Hat in the past) by adapting the install phase and by choosing particular packages as ones we recommend. As a matter of fact, it is worth pointing out that such an approach with newer hardware, too, is an asset, since it flies in comparison with the standard approach.

Another project I am involved with was looking for a computer to be a taperecorder for hours of speech. I was delighted to say that RULE provides Fedora 3 with Alsa, only needing 232 MB of hard disk footprint. Udev and all the other uptodate goodies are there because Fedora 3 provides them.
