Unfortunately some of the links aren't working, but the Fedora Project (and the RHLP before it) were announced I believe around July 2003, during the beta process for Severn (RHL 9 was released in April). Anyone looking for "the next RHL" would have found Fedora. http://software.newsforge.com/software/03/10/01/1417208.shtml -- William Hooper
