Is Fedora Legacy a replacement for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)?

No. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a commercial open source distribution with a paid support subscription. It guarantees, for a price, a multi-year bug and security errata program, with full support from a professional Red Hat staff. Fedora Legacy is a community project that is trying to provide free security updates (not bug fixes) to select legacy Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core Linux releases, for a short period of time. We do not charge or require registration, nor to we provide professional staff for support. Our only goal is to provide security errata (and the occasional critical bug fix, when required) to extend the life of a release for a short period of time.
