Line 3:

'''Fedora Core''' (sometimes incorrectly referred to as '''''[[Fedora Linux]]''''') is an [[RPM_Package_Manager|RPM]]-based [[Linux distribution]], developed by the community-supported [[Fedora Project]], sponsored by [[Red Hat]], and derived from the original [[Red Hat Linux]] distribution.

The Fedora Project has the goal of building a complete, general-purpose [[operating system]] from [[free software]]. Fedora came about as a result of new [[business strategy]] atwhich [[Red Hat]] implemented late in [[2003]]. The Project targets Fedora Core for use by conventional Linux home users, and intends to replace the consumer distributions of Red Hat Linux. (Red Hat intends that [[Red Hat Enterprise Linux]] become a [[business]]-oriented Linux distribution, and it offers software support for that distribution.) Support for Fedora comes from the greater community.
