|^ A type of hat. This hat is a fedora.


This too is a fedora.


As is this.



You can even buy an official Red Hat Fedora. |
Fedora also was a community project to build high-quality 3rd party RPMs for RedHatLinux. They packaged a lot of stuff that RedHat wouldn't, couldn't, or didn't. The RedHatLinuxProject merged with the Fedora Linux Project to become the FedoraProject. The old Fedora Linux Project website1? is is now the home of the FedoraExtras project.


Fedora is also a digital library framework, which preceeds the use of the name by RedHat. See http://www.fedora.info/history.shtml. However, please note that the hat also had the name first.

1? They're cool for using a .us domain instead of an international one and then claiming that America == The World, like NetworkSolutions once did.
