Red Hat Annouces Fedors Project: "Red Hat and Fedora Linux are pleased to announce an alignment of their mutually complementary core proficiencies leveraging them synergistically in the creation of the Fedora Project, a paradigm shift for Linux technology development and rolling early deployment models."

RH is finally going through with a revamp of its development strategy first discussed in July. Basically, free (and retail) RH is going away to be replaced by the Fedora project. RH will focus on enterprise products. This is a business decision, since most of RH's growth has been in the enterprise arena anyway. I could live without the .com market-speak in the announcement though. I mean "mutually complementary core proficiencies leveraging ... synergistically in the creation of ...a paradigm shift" is so 90's. Thanks to Tom Ryan for posting this to teknoids.

Sun: "We Don't Believe Linux Plays a Role on the Server". Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's executive vice president for software, in an interview in eWeek says:"Also, let me really clear about our Linux strategy. We don't have one. We don't at all. We do not believe that Linux plays a role on the server. Period. If you want to buy it, we will sell it to you, but we believe that Solaris is a better alternative, that is safer, more robust, higher quality and dramatically less expensive in purchase price."
