Red Hat Linux Project Merges With Fedora

Posted by simoniker on Monday September 22, 2003 @06:06AM from the indiana-jones-delighted dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Red Hat has announced a merger of its Red Hat Linux Project with Fedora Linux, a group that has specialized in providing high-quality RPM packages for Red Hat. According to Red Hat, 'The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products.' From the FAQ: 'Rather than being run through product management as something that has to appear on retail shelves on a certain date, Fedora Core will be released based on schedules, set by a steering committee, that will be open and accessible to the community, as well as influenced by the community.'"

A good move, if you ask me. by Bowie+J.+Poag · 2003-09-22 09:01 · Score: 0, Offtopic

...Does anyone else find it a little strange that Red Hat still packages i386 binaries, when the minimum requirements for installing Red Hat have long since exceeded that which you can do on a 386?

Thats a page I wish Red Hat would take out of Mandrake's book. s/i386/i586/g ...at least!
