Do you ever stop and look at old school photos with your classmates, looking them up on the net to see where they are now?I do, and I feel like a petty bastard for thinking some people were bad. I guess as you get older you realise some things that aren’t as appear as they were several years ago

20 years ago on November 6, 2003, Fedora Linux, originating as "Fedora Core," began in 2003. Originally referred to as "Fedora Core," Fedora Linux forked from Red Hat Linux in 2003. This move came as Red Hat Linux was phased out, enabling Red Hat to focus on its paid server version, Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fedora Linux became a community distribution, while Red Hat Enterprise Linux continued as the official Red Hat-supported distribution.#TechHistory #Fedora #Linux #RedHat
