-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].

Fedora also was
a community project to build
high-quality 3rd party [RPM]s
for RedHatLinux
. They packaged a lot of stuff that RedHat wouldn't
, couldn't, or didn't
. 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. %%% %%% %%% [1] They
're cool for using

NetworkSolutions once did
