Fedora Core

The Fedora Project is a free, community supported, open source project sponsored by Red Hat. The Fedora Project was spun off from Red Hat Linux after support for the original Red Hat Linux was discontinued. Fedora values rapid innovation. With this in mind, Fedora generally has a new version out about twice a year. Fedora's short life-cycle does not make it ideal for clients interested in maintaining a server with the same OS release for more than a year or two. We strongly recommend RHEL or CentOS to our enterprise-server clients. We support all current releases of Fedora Core, including versions that have reached their end-of-life.

^{^}The Fedora Project figures a support life of approximately 13 months after which time they recommend upgrading.

: We support and recommend these versions. We currently do not recommend installing Fedora on enterprise-level servers primarily because of its short life-cycle.

: While we provide support for these versions, we do not recommend using them for new installations.
