Over the years, Red Hat's Fedora has made a name for itself as a version of Linux for enthusiasts, developers, and those who want to try the latest thing in open-source software. But a curious feature of the new version 8, released Thursday, is the ability to strip out the Fedora identity altogether.
Red Hat has dismantled the Fedora Foundation, an initiative conceived as an entity to provide intellectual-property protections to the open-source realm but whose mission grew impractically broad.
The next version of Fedora, Red Hat's community distribution, will include the cross-platform .Net implementation Mono for the first time.
Novell plans to begin opening up development of one of its Linux products to outside programmers in a project called OpenSuse, a strategy similar to that taken by rival Red Hat, Novell is expected to announce next week.
Red Hat has released Fedora Core 4, a free version of Linux the company is using to advance virtualisation, programming tools and other software at the frontier of open-source development.
