There are a few out there, they just don't propagate on *nix systems 
because of the pervasive security model.  I probably over reacted with 
that part of my advice, but whenever I hear a phrase like "a few binary 
files were different," I loose my head.

I would recommend against running any version of Fedora Core on a 
production system.  It is a bleeding edge distro used as "a proving 
ground for new technology."  If you like the redhat/fedora way of doing 
things, I can recommend CentOS:
