Fedora is a Linux operating system distribution developed and supported by the Fedora Project, a open source community formed in 2003 as a partnership between Red Hat
and volunteer 
contributors. Red Hat Enterprise Linux branches for
commercial use are based on Fedora, while the open source Fedora Linux
OS itself is freely available for use and customization.
Its main purpose was to serve as a source of software innovations for
the Hat Enterprise Linux releases. This connection between the two Linux
distributions explains the origin of the Fedora name – 'fedora' refers
to the characteristic fedora hat used in Red Hat's "Shadowman" logo.
