Red Hat "Fedora"
Red Hat is apparently returning to its roots with Project Fedora. So what is Project Fedora? "Fedora is what Red Hat Linux was," Red Hat's Jeremy Hogan says in an interview with LinuxQuestions.org. "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. We decided that the rapid release cycle of our retail product was not conducive to retail selling paradigms, nor was slowing down innovation to suit that. We also decided it was time we made it a little easier for folks to develop with us, and to build on our products. I would compare it to Debian. What's in the release is what would have gone in Red Hat Linux 10, if there was one. The main difference will be the amount and level of influence contributors and thrid parties will have on the project's direction." Interesting, and a slightly more positive spin on the company's decision to bail on the retail market.
