Fedora Linux is one particular Linux distribution or “distro,” created by Red Hat, Inc. and the Fedora project (for more information, see http://fedora.redhat.com) and formerly called Red Hat Linux.[1] Our material is based on Fedora Core 1, the first official release (November 2003). We focus on the supplied programs and the shell, with brief coverage of X and the kernel as needed.
[1] Red Hat now focuses on its Enterprise Linux products for higher-end applications. Most of this book applies to Enterprise and other Linux distros.
