Red Hat/Fedora
[Posted September 30, 2003 by ris]
The second Fedora Core (once known as Red Hat Linux) test release is now
available. "
Use of test releases in
production environments could lead to disastrous results, such as
spontaneous musical theatre from your engineers. Be afraid." If you
are not sufficiently afraid, the announcement contains a list of mirror
sites.
Linux Journal provides some thoughts
on the Red Hat/Fedora merger. "The main reason for the Red
Hat/Fedora merger is straight-forward: Red Hat is a for-profit company, not
a charity. In short, Red Hat loses money on Red Hat Linux. Turning it over
to Fedora will help keep the company profitable."
LinuxQuestions.org
interviews Jeremy Hogan, Manager of Community Relations at Red Hat.
LQ) Tell us a little about the just released Fedora project (How do you
see it impacting RH, how does it compare to Cooker or even Debian, what
went into it's release, etc).
JH) Fedora is what Red Hat Linux was. Kind of the People's Republic of
Myanmar to Burma. It's a project with rolling releases, not a product
with predictable release dates, support, services, etc.
