I was put off by what I perceived as stepchild status for fedora.

Not from my experience, FC got better with every release, here
are a few tips I usually recommend, there should be equal for
FC6. STFW

Especially with 'yum' after adding a few repros, software
installation/updates are just a keystroke and all dependencies
cleared for you.

I thought the more free thinking home users went elsewhere, and business
went with the RHEL distributions.

The later yes, but for server usage, this is is the target.
Meaning you don't get the latest and greatest stuff, but long
time patches/support, which is important for server.
