Sort of. Fedora is the distribution that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is based on; Fedora is more bleeding edge --- kind of like the "unstable" branch of Debian.

@Flint: To get a good feel for RHEL, download the current verison of CentOS and run it from a partition. It's RHEL with all the Red Hat logos and proprietary (non-GPL) stuff taken out. The CentOS developers literally download the publicly-available source RPMs of the current RHEL edition. You won't get closer to RHEL without buying it.
