For some people Fedora will be better/more up to date or whatever.
Red Hat now produce Red Hat Enterprise Linux as their main moneyspinner. They don't produce a "John/Jane Doe" distribution for the world any more. They did - from Red Hat 4.x to Red Hat 9. Acknowledging the fact that they are using open source, they've changed their development tree into a community based distribution. Fedora Core is changing fairly rapidly: it's only guaranteed to be there for six months at a time. Periodically, they fork RHEL from Fedora and carry on producing beta versions for the world. Given that, and the fact that Fedora probably includes less than Debian in terms of packages: I personally would stick with Debian. If you are a long time RH user, much of Fedora will seem familiar. Some people have mumblings that Fedora isn't open enough and transparent enough about the development process. Horses for courses, I suppose.
