I think you'll find there is a slight bias here.  Most of the people who 
are new to Linux try to get Redhat because it's the only one they've 
hear of.

They then try to get Redhat for free (ending up at redhat enterprise 
pages), and then find that if they want Redhat for free you have to get 
the "fedora" copy (it would appear to a no0b that these are just the 
same software).

Once people have used Redhat's distros for a while they realise that 
there's better (or different) choices out there.

Once people get to this stage they usually have at least a basic 
understanding of Linux.

Therefore you're more likely to get messages from Fedora Core users who 
have problems compiling/using etc Linux and or Asterisk.

While there are definitely some strange things that Fedora Core does 
that are different from other/vanilla kernels, for Asterisk it usually 
works fine right out of the box (assuming you have the necessary 
prerequisites [sp?]).
