Fedora is...

Relevant because it is the name of a project to build packages for RedHatLinux.  With the emergence of the RedHatLinuxProject, Fedora will probably be rolled into RedHatLinux - chances are its' standards will be used as the basis for the new community.

In the meantime, they package a lot of stuff that RedHat won't, can't, or didn't.

Plus, they're cool cos they use a .us domain, instead of an international one and then claiming that America == The World (NetworkSolutions told me that once.)

Their web site is at http://www.fedora.us/.

Fedora packages can be gained using AptForRpm.  See [their HOWTO|http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO].
