The State of Fedora Matthew Miller Fedora Project Leader Flock to Fedora Nest with Fedora! August 2020 A brief preview of the talk before you today ● The Fedora Community ● Mission, Vision, and Strategy ● The graphs you know are part of this talk ● New exciting graphs ● Highlights of some of our work ● What’s next (Fedora’s glorious future) ● Your questions Fedora is People! Fedora Magazine Page Views by Year Ask Fedora Stats The Fedora Project envisions a world where everyone benefits from free and open source software built by inclusive, welcoming, and open-minded communities. Fedora creates an innovative platform for hardware, clouds, and containers that enables software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users. We will make it easy for the community to build solutions, address specific developer problems, and meet their end users’ specific needs. We will do this by encouraging and helping Objectives which make the necessary changes required to ease the process. This accelerates the transformation of Fedora into a community that enables the construction of solutions. Internally, Fedora focuses on enabling these solutions to be built. The outputs of Fedora are the Solutions our community members build. Our focus on enablement allows experimentation without prior judgement or gate-keeping. — https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedoras-strategic-direction-an-update-from-the-council/ Fun OS Release Names Fan-Linux OS Fedora Remix for WSL Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server XF Magic Centos NST Ubuntu VirtOS OsoLinux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Fedoraa SONICast FSystem RedHat PetalOS CentOS Linux UXCloud Private Void Enterprise Linux Fedora-Android SuperRed JambulaOS brynux Top Hat Flashback slide from DevConf 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djScg13e-hs The Glorious Future This is the part of the talk where we would have pretty pictures if I hadn’t procrastinated too long to ask our lovely design team to help me with them.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advantage
WHITEPAPER THE RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX ADVANTAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a famous definition that describes an airplane as a million parts flying in close forma- tion. Linux is like that airplane — it consists of millions of lines of code in thousands of modules from tens of thousands of developers. And its value isn’t in the pieces — it’s in reliably and effi- ciently solving customer problems. Red Hat builds on this as a domain-spanning engineering partner with collaborative relationships, which it uses to provide Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the premier platform for enterprise workloads. TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Open source community 14 Lifecycle 4 The rapidly evolving Linux ecosystem 14 Subscriptions The Red Hat Enterprise Linux model 15 Conclusion Innovate Snapshot, integrate, and stabilize Support Minor releases www.redhat.com WHITEPAPER The REd Hat Enterprise LInux AdvAntagE There is a famous definition that describes an airplane as a million parts flying in close formation. Linux is similar to an airplane in that it consists of millions of lines of code in thousands of mod- ules from tens of thousands of developers. Like an aircraft manufacturer, Red Hat takes all of these piece parts and integrates them into a single functional system ready to support enter- prise workloads. Beyond the initial integration, Red Hat continues to support and enhance the product. To con- tinue the airplane analogy, Red Hat’s job is to keep the airplane flying on schedule, safely, and to continuously monitor and enhance it to ensure it is operating properly. Red Hat Enterprise Linux major releases can be compared to new generations of aircraft from Boeing or Airbus — doing the same basic job, but with many improvements and enhancements, taking advantage of new technology and new developments.

An Overview of Red Hat Linux
Chapter 1 An Overview of Red Hat Linux In This Chapter • Introducing Red Hat Linux • What is Linux? • Linux’s roots in UNIX • Common Linux features • Primary advantages of Linux • What is Red Hat Linux? • Why choose Red Hat Linux? • The culture of free software Linux was a phenomenon waiting to happen. The computer industry suffered from a rift. In the 1980s and 1990s, people had to choose between inexpensive, market-driven PC operating systems from Microsoft and expensive, technology-driven operating systems such as UNIX. Free software was being created all over the world, but lacked a common platform to rally around. Linux has become that common platform. For several years, Red Hat Linux has been the most popular commercial distribution of Linux. With the latest versions of Red Hat Linux (reflected in the Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions), Red Hat, Inc. has taken steps to offer both free-flowing community versions and well-supported commercial versions of Red Hat Linux. NOTE: Because of significant overlap between Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I use the term Red Hat Linux to refer to technology in both distributions. If software I describe is missing (primarily from Enterprise, which doesn't include many games and personal software), you can add the software later. Check your CDs, then check yum repositories described in Chapter 5 to find software RPMs. Introducing Red Hat Linux With the recent split between community (Fedora) and commercial (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) versions of Red Hat Linux, Red Hat has created a model that can suit the fast-paced changes in the open source world, while still meeting the demands for a well-supported 4 Part I: Getting Started in Red Hat Linux commercial Linux distribution.

Annual Report Fiscal 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS for FISCAL 2019
Annual Report Fiscal 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2019 • $3.4 billion in total revenue, an increase of 15% over fiscal 2018 • $434 million in net income, or $2.33 per diluted share • $3.0 billion in deferred revenue at the end of fiscal 2019, an increase of 15% over fiscal 2018 • $1.0 billion in operating cash flow, an increase of 10% over fiscal 2018 • $2.4 billion in cash and investments at the end of fiscal 2019 Dear Red Hat Stockholder: I am pleased to share that the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 marked our 68th consecutive quarter of revenue growth. It also marked the end of a fiscal year of solid growth across a number of financial metrics as enterprise organizations continue to embrace the open hybrid cloud. This year, we also saw a continued increase in the interest in and adoption of Red Hat’s cloud enabling technologies. Multi-product adoption and strong strategic relationships helped drive annual subscription revenue growth of 15% in U.S. dollars. Subscription revenue from our Infrastructure-related offerings, which includes our core Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions, grew 9% in U.S. dollars; subscription revenue from our Application Development-related and other emerging technology offerings, which include our middleware and cloud technologies, grew 31% in U.S. dollars. Our Application Development-related and other emerging technology offerings made up 28% of subscription revenue in fiscal 2019. Our customers continue to turn to Red Hat as they look to build and deploy applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. We believe that open source can change the world and that Kubernetes, containers, and Linux will be the foundation of the next era of technology.

Unit-I Topics: Introduction |Duties of S.A | Booting and Shutdown Process| File System 1 | Salvi College| Prof:Sonu Raj |[email protected] |8080837038|8976249271 Q1. Short note on UNIX The UNIX operating system was originally developed at Bell Laboratories, once part of the telecommunications giant AT&T. UNIX has become a very popular multiuser, multitasking operating system for a wide variety of hardware platforms, from PC workstations to multiprocessor servers and supercomputers. UNIX is a trademark administered by The Open Group, and it refers to a computer operating system that conforms to a particular specification. This specification, known as The Single UNIX Specification, defines the names of, interfaces to, and behaviors of all mandatory UNIX operating system functions. The specification is largely a superset of an earlier series of specifications, the P1003, or POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) specifications, developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers). Q2. List linux distribution and explain any three in detail Following is list of different Linux distributions as follows: . Ubuntu . Fedora . CentOS / Red Hat Enterprise Linux . Linux Mint . Debian . OpenSUSE / SUSE Linux Enterprise . Puppy Linux . Mageia / Mandriva Ubuntu . Ubuntu is probably the most well-known Linux distribution. Ubuntu is based on Debian, but it has its own software repositories. The Ubuntu project has a focus on providing a solid desktop (and server) experience. Ubuntu is modern without being too bleeding edge. Fedora . Fedora is a project with a strong focus on free software. Fedora is bleeding edge and contains the latest versions of software. Unlike Ubuntu, Fedora doesn’t make its own desktop environment or other software.
