Red Hat/Fedora

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.
