The most widely known part of the Project is the often used Linux 
distribution, Fedora Core, that uses Open Source Software only. Its 
developers work closely with the programmers that create the software 
and often includes the latest version of these application in the 
distribution.  Fedora Core publishes approximately two versions a year 
with the third one often being used as a base for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Besides Fedora Core there are several related sub-projects: The
community driven Fedora Extras packages additional Software for Fedora 
Core in RPM packages that can easily be installed. Fedora Legacy 
provides security updates for older releases of Fedora Core. The Fedora 
Directory Server Project is driven by both the community and Red Hat to 
further enhance the source code from the Netscape LDAP Server that Red 
Hat bought and published as Open Source last year.
