RT Linux is a specific distribution of Linux, as is Fedora. You can install RT Linux over Fedora, but RT Linux isn't a program you install in a Fedora installation, but an entirely different installation altogether (and meant for different things; RT Linux is meant for specialty devices where the machine needs to manage devices and calculations in Real-time whereas Fedora is more a desktop/server distribution.)

Fedora Core and later Fedora !

Fedora is a desktop-oriented Linux distribution, and ususally features Red Hat's more experimental software.

Most desktop Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, OpenSUSE) are equally suitable for laptops.

The best resource one could find for this type of information is the Fedora Project's website. It has helpful information for those looking to work with the company.

No. Hybrid implies that there is a mix with something else. Fedora uses only the Linux kernel.

Fedora

"It aims to be a complete, general-purpose operating system that contains only free and open source software."

Initially it was just called "Red Hat Linux", but now Red Hat focuses exclusively on the enterprise market with its Linux distribution named "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" (RHEL) with the community version named CentOS (Community ENTerprise Operating System) and Fedora (a Red Hat-supported community Linux distribution)

Linus Torvalds uses Fedora.


He did an interview in 2008 where he talked about distributions. He uses Fedora on most of his computers, but really doesn't focus on the distribution itself.

Here's the link to an article on O'Reilly where the interview is referenced:

There are many distribution of Linux such as

Ubuntu

Fedora

Red Hat

Debians

Caldera

Mandrake

etc...

but the most common is "Red Hat"

as it is easy to use and install and come with comprehensive utilities and application including X-Window Graphic system.

Fedora and openSUSE are the open-community spin-offs of privately managed and developed for-profit GNU/Linux distributions, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Enterprise Edition Linux.

GNU/Linux? Plenty. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and many more.

Non-GNU Linux? Android.

Anaconda is an installer used by Red Hat and Fedora.

There are no similarities. Fedora (or any other Linux distribution for that matter) doesn't really care about file extensions; they aren't used by most programs, and are not required to identify file types.

Yes and no.

Yes in the sense that Ubuntu is just like any other Linux distribution. It *is* a Linux distribution. So to say that Ubuntu is not Linux is inaccurate.

It's NOT the same as Linux in that Ubuntu is a DISTRIBUTION of Linux, not the Linux operating system itself. The Linux operating system, as I like to define it, is the kernel, the drivers, and the kernelspace it provides.

I have often seen more and more Ubuntu users who seem to not recognize the relationship of Ubuntu and Linux. The only other Linux "sphere" worse in this regard in recognizing that it is Linux is Android, also Linux, but between how Google markets it and the kind of userspace it has so many people don't often recognize Android as Linux either. Short answer is that Ubuntu is Linux. As is Arch, Red Hat, SuSE, Fedora, Gentoo, Android, WebOS, your router firmware, Tivo firmware, or Debian.

Red Hat Linux was discontinued in 2004 in favour of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for enterprise environments. However, Red Hat Linux still exists as "Fedora", free for home use, developed by "Fedora Projects", though the entire line is no longer commercial and only supported by the Linux community.

Linux is an operating system kernel. By itself, it can do very little. It needs to be combined with an interface and applications in order to be useful. When you take the kernel and add the parts to create a working system, you create what is called a "Linux distrbution", or "distro." Fedora is an example of a Linux distro.

In summary, Linux is a kernel, and Fedora is a full operating system.

The term "main difference" is vague and subject to interpretation. I'll try to list a couple of what some folks consider "notable" differences.

1) Redhat Linux is normally purchased and various levels of support are also available for purchase. Fedora Linux is free (free as in beer as the saying goes).

2) Redhat Linux contains some features/enhancements not necessarily found in Fedora Linux or CentOS Linux - mostly these features are designed for enterprise environments.

Hope this helps.

This very much depends on what you are trying to do. As a general desktop with no particular goals, Redhat/Fedora, Mandrake, SuSE, Debian and Ubuntu are more or less equally easy to use.

Yes. BackTrack is a Linux distribution that focuses on penetration testing and computer forensics.

If you are speaking of Fedora Linux, the operating system, there is not a ticker for it, as it is an open-source project with no headquarters or corporation owning it. Though, the company that stemmed Fedora, RedHat, has the ticker Symbol RHT.

No, Ubuntu is part of Linux.

Yes.

simply a different distro of Linux built around a certain kernal build version. you can check http://distrowatch.com/ for more info on fedora core, or many other distros.

fedora is named fedora i believe because the author wrote an article or a book and in this text he asked the question (loosely pulled from my memory bank) 'has anyone found my red fedora hat? if so let me know'. so from then on, from what i was told that distrobution what called fedora from then on.

i may be wrong, feel free to correct me on this. :)

Fedora and many other Linux builds are available for a PPC G4 iBook. Installation instructions are provided on the Fedora Project website (See links below).

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution (as in a specific OS setup with the Linux kernel.)

You cannot suitably split up the DVD ISO. However, Fedora provides CD images on their website that you can use instead.

Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work together as a community: the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is open and anyone is welcome to join.

Fedora FreeBSD SUSE Linux Red Hat and so on

Click yes

They are all Linux-type operating systems.

Yes.

Scientific Linux is a Linux distribution. It is a free and open source operating system and aims to be as close to the commercial enterprise distribution as possible.

There's Ubuntu, Debian, Red Had, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, SuSE, Slackware...

A good way to find out is to look into Distro Watch. The web site more or less keeps a monitor on how popular a given Linux distribution is.

This is usually a matter of contention. The most popular choices are Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, OpenSUSE, and Fedora.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial distro produced by Red Hat, Inc. Fedora is a community-supported distro. The main difference between the two is that Red Hat provides warranties, certifications, and support for a fee, whereas Fedora provides free support with no warranty or certifications.

Linus Torvalds was the principal engineer who created the Linux kernel, the chief component behind modern Linux operating systems used today such as Ubuntu, SUSE, or Fedora.

There are many Linux distros. The most popular include; Debian which is 19 years old, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mageia and Mint Linux which uses the Cinnamon desktop interface.

Linux is a modern operating system kernel used by GNU/Linux systems like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, OpenSuSe, Fedora and many other.

Linux is mainly used for servers and embedded systems, but is gaining popularity in desktop system market.

Yellow Dog Linux is the only operating system officially endorsed by Sony. However, the necessary support for the PS3 hardware has already been integrated into the Linux kernel, so almost any PowerPC version of Linux can be used. The other popular choices are Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.

Red hat operating system is a Linux based operating system assembled by the company Red Hat.It was released on November 3,1994.

It was the first Linux distribution to use the RPM package manager.

since 2003 Red Hat has discontinued it in the favor of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for enterprise environment.Now fedora project is supported by the community and Red Hat.

Red Hat Linux 9, the final release, hit its official end-of-life on 2004-04-30, although updates were published for it through 2006 by the fedora project till it's shutdown in 2007.

For desktop computers, Canonical's Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Fedora are all very strong distributors for the operating system while for laptops, Fuduntu is a well known and good distributor for Linux.

No Linux distribution is currently made for any PalmPilot model.

Many Linux distributions are intended for home users.

A server with a Linux distribution installed on it.

1.Linux is a generic term which is a kernel and has several distributions, whereas Ubuntu is one of the Linux kernel-based distribution.

2.Linux started its journey in 1991, whereas Ubuntu took off in 2004.

3.Linux was initially predominant among servers, making it hardly user-friendly among home and office users, whereas with the advent of Ubuntu, which was available on desktop computers, now becoming more receptive and friendly with home and office users.

4.Several Linux distributions are available like Fedora, Suse, Debian and so on, whereas Ubuntu is one such desktop-based distribution based on Linux kernel.

5.Linux is based on the Linux kernel, whereas Ubuntu is based on the Linux system and is one project or distribution.

6.Linux is secure, and most of the Linux distributions do not need anti-virus to install, whereas Ubuntu, a desktop-based operating system, is super-secure among Linux distributions.

7.Some of the Linux distributions are not desktop-based and dominant among servers, whereas Ubuntu is one of the desktop-based, is more user-friendly as compared to other Linux distribution.
