What is Red Hat Linux?
Why choose Red Hat Linux?
The culture of free software
Linux was a phenomenon waiting to happen. The computer industry suffered from a rift. In the
1980s and 1990s, people had to choose between inexpensive, market-driven PC operating
systems from Microsoft and expensive, technology-driven operating systems such as UNIX.
Free software was being created all over the world, but lacked a common platform to rally
around. Linux has become that common platform.
Red Hat Linux is the most popular commercial distribution of Linux. Red Hat and other
commercial distributions, such as Caldera's OpenLinux, have taken the Linux concept a step
further. With Red Hat Linux, users no longer have to download, compile, and check Linux
source code to make sure that all the right pieces are put together for Linux to work. Basically,
Red Hat has made it possible for Linux to be used by people other than computer geeks.
Red Hat Linux has also made Linux a more viable alternative for corporate users. Many
companies have felt insecure about relying on a free operating system to handle their critical
data. With Red Hat Linux, they can rely on Red Hat, Inc. (
www.redhat.com) to provide
tested versions of that software and technical support if there are problems.
Introducing Red Hat Linux
With Red Hat Linux 9, Red Hat continues to solidify and simplify the world's most popular
commercial Linux distribution. While technical people continue to choose Red Hat Linux
