Red Hat vs Fedora Security
Hi! I am using Red Hat, and Fedora at home, and I would like to know if there is any difference security wise between them? I am just curious mostly about security from the outside network, (internet) trying to break into my system, instead of physical access. Is Red Hat better than Fedora on security? Thanks, and have a great day! :)

That is a nice query. Red Hat being stable built would surpass Fedora which is built by community on overall approach. I was able to find this link which talks about relationship between both of these two: https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/articles/relationship-between-fedora-and-rhel
Hi GD, In my opinion, though there is not much difference between two in terms of kernel, Red Hat is best built and suited for enterprise level. Apart from kernel the other necessaries wrappers that make a complete operating system would best fit for enterprise requirement, so, I could say RHEL is a matured version of Fedora.
Hi GD,
Generally there is no difference - the most important impact regarding security has the user himself. You can setup a fedora system as safe as a RHEL system, for example you can apply the same SCAP rules and you can adjust the security settings in fedora right as you can set them up in RHEL - you yourself decide about and between the level of convenience and security of an operating system. :)
