From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fair enough on the single maintainer thing, though everything he's doing in that is pretty much just pre-building what you would have to do with a vanilla Fedora install like add GPU optimizations, RPMFusion repos and then uses the standard repos for any installs, maybe with some switches for unstable or testing versions of certain packages like KDE, or at least what Fedora would call unstable.
I was really put off by Redhat as well for my years working with RHEL and the pain in the ass factor of licensing, etc. Fedora is pretty much arms length though.
I think you'll like it, it's very low maintenance IME. Another one you might look at is OpenSUSE, though I frickin' hate their installer, but it's not much worse than Redhat's. At least Fedora cleans that up a fair bit.
