RESEARCH TOPIC FOR TODAY... LINUX!
"Linux (IPA pronunciation: /ˈlɪnʌks/) is an umbrella term that refers to Unix-like computer operating systems that are built on the Linux kernel. A Linux-based system used in conjunction with GNU system utilities and libraries is sometimes referred to as GNU/Linux."- Wiki.
Redhat Linux-"Red Hat Linux was a popular Linux distribution assembled by Red Hat until the early 2000s, when it was discontinued.
It is one of the "middle-aged" Linux distributions; 1.0 was released in November 3, 1994. It is not as old as Slackware, but certainly older than many other distributions. It was the first Linux distribution to use RPM as its packaging format, and over time has served as the starting point for several other distributions, such as the desktop-oriented Mandriva Linux (originally Red Hat Linux with KDE), Yellow Dog Linux (which started from Red Hat Linux with PowerPC support), and ASPLinux (Red Hat Linux with better non-Latin character support).
Since 2003, Red Hat has discontinued the Red Hat Linux line in favor of its new Red Hat Enterprise Linux for enterprise environments and Fedora Core for the free version. Red Hat Linux 9, the final release, hit its official end-of-life on April 30, 2004, although the Fedora Legacy project continues to publish updates." -Wiki.
