HI
This is total double talk. If Fedora Core is not a testing ground for
RHEL features why exactly does it exist? What you are saying makes no
sense at all.
Mission to provide a community oriented completely Free and open source
operating system.
OK, you seem to be provoking it:
You get provoked unnecessarily I must say.
Please elaborate:
* What in Fedora is community oriented?
What is not?
* What would be different in FC if it was "not community oriented"?
Red Hat Linux.
The only differences I can sense, are
* we would not have FE, but would be using 3rd party repositories
instead.
You forget the presence of various other projects such as Legacy,
Documentation, Websites, Infrastructure etc...
* we probably would not be using FC but would be using a "rebuilt RHEL"
as substitute for RHL.
Very unlikely. RHEL is too boring for a community to participate. It is
almost stagnant which is great for enterprises but not for the
community. If RHEL would have been suitable for everyone Red Hat wouldnt
started Fedora or vice versa. Fedora's rapid release cycle with tons of
feature updates, many of them from Red Hat is a key process of enabling
the community. The development methodology of "Release early, Release
often" combined with donations from Red Hat combined with the many
community sub projects within the Fedora Foundation is what provides
value for Fedora.
