[Tfug] Fedora vrs. RHEL

[Terence Rudkin]

I face this issue every day, supporting Oracle.   For us we do not
support Oracle on Fedora.   But what does support mean?   For me I see
three levels.  Certified, Supported, Works.  
Certified: It is supported and has been verified to work
Supported: Assistance will be provided to make work as documented.
Works:  Customer is on their own to make work. 

So as to the compiler working on Fedora, most likely it will, but any
issues you may be on your own.
