The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project
designed by Red Hat,
open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set
of project objectives. The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with
the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating
system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done
in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of
Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule. The
Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in building
Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation
than in past releases. By using this more open process, we hope to
provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free
software and more appealing to the open source community. |

virtual packages, config file management, and more. |

Mandriva Linux (formerly Mandrakelinux) was created in
1998 with the
goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. At that time, Linux
was already well-known as a powerful and stable operating system that
demanded strong technical knowledge and extensive use of the "command
line"; MandrakeSoft saw this as an opportunity to integrate the best
graphical desktop environments and contribute its own graphical
configuration utilities and quickly became famous for setting the
standard in ease-of-use and functionality. With this innovative
approach, Mandriva Linux offers all the power and stability of Linux to
both individuals and professional users in an easy-to-use and pleasant
environment. Thousands of new users are discovering Linux each and
every day and finding it a complete replacement for their previous
operating system. Linux as a server or workstation has no reason to be
jealous of any other more established operating systems. |

Ubuntu Linux is a complete desktop Linux operating
system, freely
available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu
community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that
software should be available free of charge, that software tools should
be usable by people in their local language and despite any
disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and
alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an
ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu Linux
distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. |
