This is true.

I am not a huge fan of Red Hat myself, but in some ways I guess it's a 
sound base on which to build. Fedora *is* a problem, though.

The logical alternative is Red Hat itself - in other words, Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux, the expensive, paid-for version. Which flavour 
(Workstation, Advanced Server or Enterprise Server, I think they're 
called) is another question, but perhaps irrelevant: they are just 
subsets and supersets of one another.

But it costs - $lots!

So, 2 alternative suggestions:

cAos Centos:

White Box Linux:

These are both free versions of RHEL for x86, built from the unmodified 
official source.
