now my question is that what kind of reliability can we expect with fedora and what is the level of support we get?
AFAIK, Community support via mailing lists is the only support option.
any ways the point is that can fedora have that kind of support because new versions come every now and then so can we look for support on fedora? for example if I am using fedora core 6 how long can I get updates and new packages for the same?
The support cycle for FC, ie. updates and critical security fixes, is only 13-15 months. The Fedora Legacy project was responsible for providing critical updates after that period but that project is now dead because of lack of resources, volunteers and funds.
Fedora was never intended to be a distro for the enterprise. If long term support is a must, which is usually the case for any kind of enterprise level deployment, go in for RHEL which is supported for 7 years after release.
