Fedora

Operating System
 What is Fedora?
Fedora is a Linux
distribution developed by
the community-supported
Fedora Project which is
sponsored primarily by Red
Hat, a subsidiary of IBM,
with additional support from
other companies
 • Fedora is the upstream
source of the
commercial Red Hat
Enterprise Linux
distribution and for
CentOS
• Fedora is a fork of Red
Hat Linux since RHL
was discontinued in
2003.
 The name of Fedora
derives from Fedora Linux,
a volunteer project that
provided extra software for
the Red Hat Linux
distribution, and from the
characteristic fedora hat
used in Red Hat's
"Shadowman" logo
Logo of Red Hat Company
 Now what is Red Hat?
Red Hat, Inc. is an American IBM

 Warren Togami
Warren Togami founded the
Fedora Project originally as a
Computer Science academic
project during 2002 at the
University of Hawaii. Fedora
aimed to expand the availability
and quality of packages
available for Red Hat Linux
through the development of
packages in a central repository
by the collaboration of
community volunteers.
That project has since merged
with Red Hat's development
process and evolved to
become the Fedora Project of
today, which can be considered
the Research & Development
engine of Red Hat.

Why Use a Fedora Dedicated Server?

• Fast Boot
• Graphics
• Automatic Updates
• Virtualization
• Enterprise Level Flexibility
Fedora Dedicated Server Security

• Exec-shield
• ELF (Executable and
linkable Format)
• Position Independent
Executables (PIE)
 Security measures in a Fedora
Linux server are:
• System firewall to protect
the server from virtual
threats
• Separated user accounts
with their own level of
permissions and access
• Network services can only
access part of the system
• Protected software
installation that detects
untrusted sources
• Perform system and
software update with one
command
• Prevention features that stop
software from modifying
parts of the system
CoreOS Linux is also
known as “Container
Linux”, not to be confused
with Linux containers.
Container Linux is a
minimal, standalone,
open-source operating
system.
