> After 4 years, I've gotta say it. I understand there are some legal issues or tardemark concerns showing the lineage of Red Hat Linux to Fedora Core.  Plus there are also marketing aspects on Fedora v. Enterprise. But the general ignorance of those who have never followed the Red Hat / Fedora development line, or left after Red Hat Linux 9, constantly want proof and debate me.

This would include the full plot going back to Red Hat Linux 4.0, as well as the first Red Hat Linux 6.2E (retroactively called "Enterprise 1"), and how that *PROVEN* lifecycle of package, integration and post-release test has held up. Especially with the regular cycle of community

I used to maintain an unofficial FAQ on this, and I should probably re-blog an update of it.

And until Red Hat clarifies that - Enterprise Linux marketing be damned - those who want to demonize it that way will continue, with nothing professionals like myself can point to - other than our own publications or blog articles on the matter.
