Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 发布

Red Hat领导着Linux的开发、部署和经营，从嵌入式设备到安全网页服务器，它都是用开源软件作为Internet基础设施解决方案的领头羊。Red Hat由有远见的企业家Bob Young和Marc Ewing创建于1994年，它以源码开发作为营业模型的基础。它也代表了软件开发行业的一次根本转变。软件的原始代码对所有人都可以获得，使用该软件的开发人员可以自由地对其作改进。其结果是迅速的革新。Red Hat解决方案包括Red Hat Linux、开发人员和嵌入式技术，以及培训、管理和技术支持。这份开源革新通过称之为Red Hat Network的Internet平台传递给客户们。Red Hat的总部设在美国北卡罗莱纳州首府罗利。
