Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 發布

Red Hat領導著Linux的開發、部署和經營，從嵌入式設備到安全網頁服務器，它都是用開源軟件作為Internet基礎設施解決方案的領頭羊。Red Hat由有遠見的企業家Bob Young和Marc Ewing創建于1994年，它以源碼開發作為營業模型的基礎。它也代表了軟件開發行業的一次根本轉變。軟件的原始代碼對所有人都可以獲得，使用該軟件的開發人員可以自由地對其作改進。其結果是迅速的革新。Red Hat解決方案包括Red Hat Linux、開發人員和嵌入式技術，以及培訓、管理和技術支持。這份開源革新通過稱之為Red Hat Network的Internet平臺傳遞給客戶們。Red Hat的總部設在美國北卡羅萊納州首府羅利。
