Announcing Fedora Core 1

[Bill Nottingham]

RALEIGH, N.C., Nov 6, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ:
RHAT), the world's premier open source software provider, today
announced the availability of Fedora(TM)Core 1, the first software
release of the Fedora Project.

The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored and community-supported open
source project that promotes rapid development of innovative open
source software through a collaborative, community effort. Fedora Core
1 provides a complete Linux platform built exclusively from open
source software. Available at no cost, the release serves the needs of
community developers, testers, and other technology enthusiasts who
wish to participate in and accelerate the technology development
process.

As a community forum for advanced development, the Fedora Project
provides early visibility to the latest open source technology and
serves as a proving ground for technology that may eventually make its
way into Red Hat's fully-supported commercial solutions such as Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat contributes development resources,
editorial direction and management to the Fedora Project.

Following this release, Red Hat and the community's efforts will turn
to the development of Fedora Core 2, which will focus on the next wave
of leading edge technology including the integration of the Linux 2.6
kernel. Developers and testers alike are welcome to visit
fedora.redhat.com and get directly involved with building the future
of Linux.
