RedHat distributes Fedora. Fedora is a redhat product used to test ideas that will be put in the Enterprise system. Tom got over heated but many of us who can't afford to buy 80 RedHat Enterprise systems must rely on Fedora. And there is no reason that known bugs can't be fixed. We can't afford to licence 80 Windows XP systems either. > > > You have seriously destroyed a good product and a > > good name by not following the #1 tenet of open source software, > > namely RELEASE WHEN ITS READY!!! > > Fedora is considered to be a "cutting edge" distribution for "new technologies and enhancements that may be incorporated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the future." It is explicitly not recommended for production applications.
