So is this the red hat stable ???

Yes it is. Your next step should be to apply all of the latest security
patches from the Red Hat Network. Assuming it's been configured
properly, this should show you the latest updates available:

# up2date -l

anaconda is the installer for fedora core

The .EL means it's the enterprise kernel.

Anaconda is the installer for both Fedora Core and RHEL. There are many
packages that are common to both since Fedora Core is the proving ground
for RHEL. The package versions do differ slightly between the two -
you'll likely find features in the RHEL kernel that haven't been
backported to the Fedora Core kernel that the particular RHEL release
based on and instead were incorporated into the latest Fedora Core
kernel.

How can we differentiate between Fedora stable Vs Official redhat stable

To differentiate Enterprise Kernel from Fedora, cat /etc/redhat-release.
