Then again, think of how far Linux has come in the last ten years -- think of how far Red Hat has come too. Ten years ago, most of us (Red Hat users) were running Red Hat Linux. That's a product that doesn't even exist today. We've got Fedora now (the modern equivalent of Red Hat Linux) and then there is Red Hat Enterprise Linux. (RHEL).
