the way i see it, Fedora looks like the RH version of Debian Testing with Rawhide as the RH equivalent of Debian Sid. or Fedora is just the department name for their open source development section. in that case, yes, it's not a distro, it's a department. if you'll look at their history, it seems that all the RH distros are under the Fedora project starting from day one of RH. It's also not exactly just a collection of projects but it does release a distro. it does have the ISO of the next upcoming version, codenamed Severn. the ISO is even available for download at linuxiso.org under RH. i guess RH will integrate it into their current product list when they're ready to release it or if not, at least integrate some parts of it into their current products. after all, it is a RH funded project and they'll be expecting a return on their investment. if there will be an RHL 10, maybe it just won't have the 30 day support thingy when you buy the boxed version but they might still sell it. -justin -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
