Linux, Red Hat, Fedora, ...
I have been a user of Red Hat Linux since the 3.x days, and am generally happy with the product. Instead of downloading their ISO images and burning CDs myself, I have been buying their boxed sets to save myself a little time and to support the product.
Therefore I was disappointed to learn that Red Hat will not be producing Red Hat Linux any more. They are focusing on high end customers with the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line. In other words, there will not be a Red Hat 10.
So I asked the question about where to go next on the St. Louis Unix Users Group mailing list (login as discuss/freely). I received quite a few good answers.
I learned that the logical successor to Red Hat Linux 9 is the Fedora Core 1, due to be released this week. According to Jamin Philip Gray:
Well in a sense it is, it's just not called "Red Hat Linux 10". It's called Fedora Core. Have you tried the latest beta (Severn, I think). I hear it's a whole lot like RH9 only better.
I think that's where I want to go.
