A Free-er? Fedora

Red Hat Spins Off Fedora

So what had become the answer to a publicly offered Free RedHat Linux is now a bit more on its own. RedHat has opted to hand leadership of the Fedora project to an independent community and provide them with support both financial and occasionally with source code and other resources.

Some may balk that this is RH throwing in the towel, I think it's more that they just couldn't manage a steady balance between being an objectively community based distro while still putting out their Enterprise products.

I've used the early two core releases of Fedora, I've used RHL from the old 4.x days to today's RHEL 4 (WS currently, don't have the $$$ for ES/AS). While far from perfect it does its job pretty well in my opinion.

We'll have to wait and see what the user community says on the matter.
