simply a different distro of Linux built around a certain kernal build version. you can check http://distrowatch.com/ for more info on fedora core, or many other distros.
fedora is named fedora i believe because the author wrote an article or a book and in this text he asked the question (loosely pulled from my memory bank) 'has anyone found my red fedora hat? if so let me know'. so from then on, from what i was told that distrobution what called fedora from then on.
i may be wrong, feel free to correct me on this. :)

Can we install rt Linux on Fedora?
RT Linux is a specific distribution of Linux, as is Fedora. You can install RT Linux over Fedora, but RT Linux isn't a program you install in a Fedora installation, but an entirely different installation altogether (and meant for different things; RT Linux is meant for specialty devices where the machine needs to manage devices and calculations in Real-time whereas Fedora is more a desktop/server distribution.)
Is Fedora a hybrid of Linux?

What are the advantages of Fedora over Ubuntu?
Linux is an operating system kernel. By itself, it can do very little. It needs to be combined with an interface and applications in order to be useful. When you take the kernel and add the parts to create a working system, you create what is called a "Linux distrbution", or "distro." Fedora is an example of a Linux distro. In summary, Linux is a kernel, and Fedora is a full operating system.
What is the main difference in between redhat Linux and fedora Linux?
The term "main difference" is vague and subject to interpretation. I'll try to list a couple of what some folks consider "notable" differences. 1) Redhat Linux is normally purchased and various levels of support are also available for purchase. Fedora Linux is free (free as in beer as the saying goes). 2) Redhat Linux contains some features/enhancements not necessarily found in Fedora Linux or CentOS Linux - mostly these features are designed for enterprise environments. Hope this helps.
