That's RH 7.1 I think? (It's one of the releases, but I can't remember which)

Rawhide was the nickname for the Red Hat Linux development "release". The devel directory contained the latest (not necessarily QA'ed) RPMs for RHL, so it was a "rolling release". The name comes from the old TV western of the same name, whose theme song had lyrics "Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'...Rawhide!"


These days, it's used as a synonym for the Fedora development tree.
