Fedora is a distribution of Linux that is used by Red Hat as a testing
ground to prove and test software for its flagship Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. Red Hat was, at one point, a free, open source distribution until
the model was changed and now Red Hat is a purchased, enterprise-level
distribution of Linux. Fedora, in essence, has taken the place of the
free version of Red Hat.

New users should avoid Fedora unless they want to be forced to learn the
