Red Hat And Its Fedora 8 Friends
Make no mistake about it. Red Hat is a key part of the Linux world, even though you won't find the company on the exhibition floor at LinuxWorld. Not officially at least.
Red Hat is represented by Fedora, its community project which this week released the first test version of Fedora 8. In a birds of a feather (BOF) session, Jack Aboutboul, community engineer for Fedora at Red Hat, discussed some of the highlights of Fedora 8, as well as some recent changes in how Fedora is run.
The BOF session also had a raucous discussion among participants about Dell, Ubuntu and the leadership role of Fedora in the Linux community.
In the Dell keynote at LinuxWorld, company CTO Kevin Kettler demonstrated how easy it was to set up virtual machines on Ubuntu. Aboutboul noted that Ubuntu had made use of the "libvert" tool, which actually originated with Fedora.
"Every innovative thing is coming from Fedora," Aboutboul said.
