1) It not a product at all from Red Hat or otherwise. It is available
as ISO images for download and never sold.
Though, it's quite clearly sponsored by it. Fedora wouldn't be around
if Red Hat wasn't it's basis (in source, hosting, and all). Fedora
certainly isn't a Debian or Mandrake product. And it's configured and
structured like Red Hat Linux.
Oh, that makes CentOS a Red Hat product, right?
The 'upstream provider' won't let CentOS mention their name, so no one
can say that...
Or is it a derivative?
Not much difference, is there?
And since CentOS is a derivative of Red Hat that would mean the folks at
CentOS are controlled by Red Hat, right?
The folks aren't, but the product stays bug-for-bug compatible, although
CentOS offers some extra choices in the centosplus repository.
And, doesn't Ubuntu follow in
the footsteps of the Debians of the world? :-)
No, Ubuntu has a planned release schedule.
