yes, both follow the standards for LDAP v2 & v3

You may have some challenges installing fedora-ds on Fedora 8...at least
from my monitoring of the fedora directory mail list. OpenLDAP is simply
installed, probably a little better known and in wider use.

That said, fedora-ds does have some GUI utils that just aren't available
for openldap.

Evolution is relatively indifferent to which LDAP server you use
(fedora-ds/openldap/microsoft/SunDS/eDirectory/etc.)
