The SELinux configuration in Fedora Core 4 and above provides enhanced security by restricting the privileges of processes running on a Fedora system. These restrictions drastically reduce the impact of security vulnerabilities, since services have only limited access to the rest of the system. SELinux in Fedora Core also has a 'strict' policy, which is useful for security-sensitive environments. There are other security systems enabled through the SELinux framework, such as MLS, MCS and RBAC, which are provided in Fedora Core 5 and above. </para> <para> Refer to the following document for more information on the SELinux implementation in Fedora: </para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> <ulink url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux'>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELinux</ulink> </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </section> <section> <title>What is Xen? Where can I learn about setting up Xen?</title> <para> Xen enables multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on the same machine with little reduction in overall performance. Each operating system is allocated some of the resources of the host computer. With Xen, administrators may also move a running operating system between machines without disrupting or shutting down services. Existing virtual machine and virtual server products offer similar facilities, but lack the same level of performance and integration that the Xen approach offers. </para> <para> Fedora Core 4 includes experimental Xen support.

Updates may be staged (first made available for public qualification, then later for general consumption) when appropriate. In drastic cases, we may remove a package from The Fedora Project if we judge that a necessary security update is too problematic/disruptive to the larger goals of the project. Availability of updates should not be misconstrued as support for anything other than continued development and innovation of the code base. </para> <para> Red Hat will not be providing an SLA (Service Level Agreement) for resolution times for updates for The Fedora Project. Security updates will take priority. For packages maintained by external parties, Red Hat may respond to security holes by deprecating packages if the external maintainers do not provide updates in a reasonable time. Users who want support, or maintenance according to an SLA, may purchase the appropriate Red Hat Enterprise Linux product for their use. </para> </section> <section> <title>I have an older Fedora release.

These projects are developed by a large community of people who strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open source software and standards. Fedora Core, the central Fedora project, is an operating system and platform based on Linux which is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute, now and forever. </para> </section> <section> <title>What are the objectives of Fedora?</title> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> <ulink url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives'>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives</ulink> </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </section> <section> <title>Why a project instead of a product?</title> <para> A global steering committee at Red Hat decided that Red Hat Linux was suffering from too many compromises as a retail product, and that the company should redirect efforts toward creating a community-based project. Rather than being subject to retail product delivery schedules, Fedora Core is released on schedules set by a decision-making process that is open, and influenced by the community. The Fedora Project is managed by a <ulink url='http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/Board'>board</ulink> of community members and Red Hat employees, with Red Hat providing significant funding and other services such as bandwidth and hosting, broad direction, engineering, and marketing. </para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> <ulink url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects'>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects</ulink> </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> <ulink url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board'>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Board</ulink> </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </section> <section> <title>What are the core benefits of this change?</title> <para> Changing the product to a project will: </para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> Ensure that users can get the latest bits as quickly as possible. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Create new opportunities for developers and users to participate in The Fedora Project development by opening up the full development process for anyone to see and join if they'd like. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Allow us to use The Fedora Project to develop and mature the latest, greatest technologies. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Speed up the development process, taking better advantage of the inherent strengths of the open source model. </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </section> <section> <title>Will Red Hat provide formal technical support for The Fedora Project?</title> <para> No, no formal Web or phone support for The Fedora Project will be available from Red Hat.

There is no list price for Fedora Core. The rapid development pace we expect for Fedora Core doesn't suit retail distribution �� it is a lot of work to get a box product in and out of the channel, and retail isn't set up to efficiently handle software that is updated as often as every six months. Also, the creation of packaging and other materials that are necessary for retail significantly slows down the time to market, which means that users can't get the freshest bits when they are still truly fresh.

These different sub-projects are independent of one another, but work together to achieve common goals and coordinate efforts. </para> <para> Each of the sub-projects has leads or a Steering Committee to organize and guide that project's development. The Fedora Project operates as a <ulink url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meritocracy'>meritocracy</ulink>, where responsibility and power are granted based upon ability and effort. The people who lead Fedora are selected because they have proven they are willing and able to do so. </para> </section> <section> <title>What kind of project management method does each Fedora sub-project use?</title> <para> Each project has either leads or a Steering Committee to guide it. Individual contributors are given a great deal of freedom to work on whatever they choose, but they are asked to follow the guidance from the project's committee for processes and approval for new initiatives. </para> <para> Like other responsibilities in the Fedora Project, committee membership is based largely upon merit, but all voices are welcome, and new ideas and opinions will be given due attention. Innovating and leading new ideas is a great way to earn recognition within the community. </para> <para> Contributors can join committee members in regular IRC meetings. The meetings are open, and minutes are made publicly available and usually posted to the appropriate mailing list. Raw IRC logs are also sometimes available. </para> <para> Most sub-projects keep a schedule of tasks on this wiki.

Our list of LUG contacts is on our <ulink url='http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/LinuxUserGroups'>LinuxUserGroups</ulink> page. If you would like to represent your LUG, please add your LUG to that list. We also encourage our Ambassadors to engage their local LUGs. </para> </section> <section> <title>Can schools and non-profits reference the "Fedora Project" name and other Fedora marks if they are interacting with the Fedora community?</title> <para> Yes, as long as they make it clear whether or not they are representing the Project. If they would like to represent the Project, they can approach and coordinate with the <ulink url='http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/Marketing'>Fedora Marketing</ulink> team. This and other uses of Fedora marks are subject to the terms of the <ulink url='http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines'>Trademark Guidelines</ulink>. </para> </section> <section> <title>Is there a certification program for third-party applications running on Fedora?</title> <para> No. The Fedora Project is dedicated to providing the best in free and open source software. Fedora Core is the pinnacle of innovative, open solutions, and is developed with a rapid release cycle. Fedora Extras allows a vast array of additional free and open source solutions to be contributed by the community and maintained for Fedora Core. Beyond these projects, the Fedora Project does not certify any third-party applications. </para> <para> Formal ISV certification is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which shares many of Fedora Core's features, but is provided on a longer release cycle and is commercially supported for 7 years. </para> </section> <section> <title>Is there a certification program for hardware that works with Fedora?</title> <para> Fedora Core runs on a large variety of hardware, and the list of working hardware is constantly growing larger. Because Fedora improvements occur very rapidly and consistently, including hardware support, a <ulink url='http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/HCL'>Hardware Compatibility List</ulink> was deemed too time-consuming and not worthwhile. Alternative methods of tracking working hardware have been suggested, but the consensus is that manually maintaining a complete list is unfeasible. </para> <para> We are trying a new approach to collect hardware information directly from the users, through the <screen><![CDATA[pootypedia]]></screen> project which was built as part of the <ulink url='http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/FedoraBounties'>Fedora Bounties</ulink> program.

What is the relationship between Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?</title> <para> Both Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) are open source. Fedora Core is a community project and serves as the base platform on which RHEL is built. The cost of RHEL comes from the subscription, which provides assorted certifications and support for additional architectures, as well as 7 years of enterprise support. Red Hat also enhances its RHEL offerings with additional software and with certification programs. Misinformation and confusion notwithstanding, the base RHEL distribution <emphasis>is</emphasis> open source, and the complete source code can always be downloaded from <ulink url='ftp://ftp.redhat.com/'>Red Hat's FTP servers</ulink>. </para> <para> Red Hat provides a comparison between the two options on their website: </para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> <ulink url='https://www.redhat.com/software/rhelorfedora/'>https://www.redhat.com/software/rhelorfedora/</ulink> </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <para> More information on the release history and lineage is available from the following link: </para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> <ulink url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/History'>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/History</ulink> </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <para> When you purchase RHEL, you are also helping to support Fedora.
