abstract
  • Red Hat Linux is a popular Linux distribution created and sold by well-known clothing retailer Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat was designed around several important critera: hideous desktop backgrounds, out-dated software, self-destructive package management system, and hellish price tag. Red Hat was the first Linux distribution to use the Recursively Pathetic Manager (RPM) as its software packaging format—famous for not being able to install anything because Package X refuses to install without Package Y being already present, but Package Y cannot be installed because Package Z is already present and conflicts. Red Hat's free equivalent, Fedora Core, now uses the Yes Uninstalled Me (YUM) dependency resolver, an enhanced version of RPM that uninstalls everything it doesn't see running or thinks is using too much memory and forces Package X and Package Y to shut up and install anyway. Over time Red Hat Linux has spawned a number of hacks imitators clones other Linuxes, which share all the loveable idiosyncracies of the Red Hat pedigree, while adding completely new and original bugs, and an even spankier looking GUI—Mandrivel, Yellow Lab Linux, and PersonalComputerLinuxOperatingSystem, to name just a few.
