I think he's refering to the all inclusive package that Red Hat sold. It was designed for everyone to use with lots of instalation options. At one time it was offered in Intel, Alpha, and SPARC versions. Red Hat dropped it when they "exited" the desktop market. They offer RHEL, which is targeted at servers (and people with money), and Fedora which is targeted at experimenters (free). Neither are seen as viable options for business desktop computers as RHEL is too server oriented and Fedora is too unstable. Neither has by themselves, or combined have all the instalation options that RHL had. Red Had announced they were thinking about re-entering the desktop market, so far it has not happened. IMHO their dropping the "Core" from Fedora 8, was an indication that it will be based on Fedora, and probably marketed using that brand, such as "Fedora Pro" or some similar name. Others have said it will be based on RHEL. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
