My opinion is that RHEL (and Red Hat Professional Workstation, which
technically is RHEL WS) will be better.  I fully expect Veritas to take
the effort to make sure that NBU works on RHEL.  RHEL 3 may take a bit
of time since it just started shipping, but once it's in place, Veritas
will have to keep maintaining it.

Fedora is a lost cause.  This is not an enterprise release - it isn't
offered as one, nor should anybody expect it to really be one.  Patches
for Fedora may be in the form of "grab the latest version from RawHide".
This is something that no 3rd party in their right minds will support.

An enterprise backup - NBU - on an enterprise Linux distro - RHEL -
should be the expected combination.
