Red Hat's Fedora 8 hope: An all-purpose Linux foundation

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

The efforts that go into remixing Fedora including the new generic-logos 
package that allows easy rebranding is being highlighted here.

"Over the years, Red Hat's Fedora has made a name for itself as a 
version of Linux for enthusiasts, developers, and those who want to try 
the latest thing in open-source software. But a curious feature of the 
new version 8, released Thursday, is the ability to strip out the Fedora 
identity altogether.

The reason: Red Hat wants Fedora to be a foundation for those who want 
to build their own Linux products on a Fedora foundation. With Fedora 8, 
that's easier, because all the Fedora-specific elements are wrapped up 
into one neatly optional package, said project leader Max Spevack. "
