Used to be that each redhat release had it's own name. They were subtly related, if you could figure it out. Someone in one of the old mailing lists did figure it out & posted it, but I can't remember... I'll take a quick look & see if I can find anything. A little history lesson - I've been with RedHat since 3.0.3 :) Here's some links... http://freshrpms.net/misc/redhat-releases/?explain=on http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/10001 http://smoogespace.com/documents/behind_the_names.html -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Matthew Saltzman Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 12:26 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: rawhide On Fri, 22 Apr 2005, Burke, Thomas G. wrote: > That's RH 7.1 I think?

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. > > -Tom > > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [ mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Nestor Waldyd > Sent: Friday, April 22, 2005 12:43 PM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: rawhide > > > > Hi ... > > What does the term "rawhide" means??? > > ... > > -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
