If I'm hearing you correctly, Red Hat is no longer going to release a Linux distribution every (approx) 6 months. Red Hat will be a
part of the Fedora project that will take over this function. And the Fedora project is sponsored as a separate organization under
the Red Hat umbrella.

(I hope Warren is getting a good dot.com amount of money for this ;))

Based on http://fedora.redhat.com/, it looks like Red Hat will test - some - software for future versions of RHEL in the Fedora
project. But other software for RHEL is likely to come from other sources.

Thanks,
Mike Jang
