There is no direct correlation.

Frank:
Agreed, but if I remember correctly reach "official RHEL" is based, at least indirectly, on some prior Fedora release?

RHEL5 was largely based on FC6 and RHEL6 on F12 and significant pieces of F13 iirc.

Out of curiosity, do you (or anyone) know what RHEL7 is basing itself on? I don't use RHEL, but am wondering if the next RHEL major will have Gnome 3? (full disclosure: I switched to Xfce after F14)

ps: I corrected my typo in this response

I don't know that the base for RHEL7 has even been decided at this point. I would be very surprised if it did not include GNOME 3 though. RHEL like Fedora offers other choices to its users.

Makes sense ... I have no idea what is happening in RHEL development and this thread seemed like a good place to ask the question.
Thanks, Paul

And since you are currently an Xfce user I'll mention that Xfce is not a currently supported desktop in RHEL but it is available to RHEL users in EPEL now and I would expect that to continue in RHEL7 although we'll need to wait and see.

Maybe a better place to ask about RHEL future stuff would be on the Red Hat Lists?
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list may be a nice generic list to ask future plans questions. Or, you can always go for the current active list.... https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list

Those directories seem rather old. Or are we seeing 2 different things?

correct, you are.
i was going by release and did not notice their dates.
plus, after looking at them again, they are redhat, not redhat el.

Ed:
Yeah, you're probably right ... since the question was a "casual one" (as I am not planning on being on a RHEL release), I "cheated" and just tossed it out to see what I heard back.
Apologies, Paul
