Personally I think we are going to reconsider using RHEL for our LAMP
applications, as we are always requiring newer versions. I realise
you are always chasing distros for the one with the latest packages,
but putting PHP 5.1 in RHEL5 when 5.2 was already out and required by
many apps was an interesting decision. We are looking seriously at the
new LTS Ubuntu out at the end of April, which has 5.2.4, and will be
supported for 5 years.
Comparing RHEL5, being out for more than one year, with a distro coming
out next month is an unfair comparison, but I guess you're realizing that.
But I agree that it sometimes is frustrating that a RHEL version coming
out (the .0 release) on date X has versions of packages of (X - 9 months)
old (or older). I understand that QA cycles take a long time, but it is
still a bit frustrating and I hope RH will try to improve this situation
for future releases.
RHEL5 and Fedora Core 6 went into beta at almost the same time and
contained much the same level of software.
A problem for some is that the point releases are more akin to
Microsoft's Service Packs, and generally do not go to new releases of
component software.
