+The Fedora Linux Project was a community project "dedicated to building high-quality, 3rd party
[RPM
]s, for the RedHatLinux 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
."
-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.)
+I like
to think of myself as relatively prophetic:
-;: 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
.

, oh
, wait
, look!

: ANNOUNCEMENT: Red Hat Linux Project is merging with the Fedora Linux Project, and the resulting combined project will be named the Fedora Project
.
-Fedora packages can be gained using AptForRpm
. See [their HOWTO|http

+There we go
