CraigBox predicted that it would be rolled into RedHatLinux with the emergence of the RedHatLinuxProject, and its standards used as the basis for the new community, and indeed, the RedHatLinuxProject merged with the Fedora Linux Project to become the FedoraProject. The [old Fedora Linux Project website | http://www.fedora.us/][1]
is still up

-Relevant because it is
the name of a project
to build packages for RedHatLinux
.
(And
it is named so because the fabled Red Hat is
a fedora.)
-
-;: Fedora is a community project dedicated to building
high-quality, 3rd party rpms, for the RedHat Linux distribution. Our goal is
to facilitate easy package installation through automatic update methods such as apt and yum, while at
the same time maintaining first rate security procedures
.
-
-With the emergence of the RedHatLinuxProject, Fedora will probably be rolled into RedHatLinux - chances are its
' standards will be used as the basis for the new community. In the meantime, they package
a lot of stuff
that RedHat won
't, can
't, or didn't. Plus, they're cool cos they use
a .us domain
, instead of an international one and then claiming that America == The World (NetworkSolutions told me that once.)

-Their web site is at http://www.fedora.us/.

-Fedora packages can be gained using AptForRpm. See [their HOWTO|http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO].

+''Someone please copy
the RedHat logo image
to the wiki server
. I don't want to host it indefinitely
(particularly as
it's likely to get
a high pagerank due
to the link on this page)
. It
's
a crying shame
that RedHat don
't seem willing to offer linkable logos on their site; at least I couldn
't find anything after
a pretty exhaustive search
. Also
, I hate the tables in PhpWiki
