Red Hat Linux Unleashed, 9780672311734 (0672311739), Sams Publishing, 1997
Linux is a full-fledged operating system. It provides full multitasking in a multiuser environment. It gives a high quality of software for a cost far lower than other commercial versions of UNIX. Red Hat has opted to take Linux a step further.

Red Hat Software is a computer software development company that sells products and provides services related to Linux. Red Hat’s mission is to “provide professional tools to computing professionals.” Red Hat provides these professional tools by doing the following:
  • Building tools, which Red Hat releases as freely redistributable software available for unrestricted download off of thousands of sites on the Internet
  • Publishing books and software applications
  • Manufacturing shrink-wrapped software, versions of the Linux OS, making Linux accessible to the broadest possible range of computer users
  • Providing technical support
Red Hat’s customer-oriented business focus forces it to recognize that the primary benefits of the Linux OS are not any of the particular advanced and reliable features for which it is famous. The primary benefit is the availability of complete source code and its “freely distributable” GPL license. This gives any user the ability to modify the technology to his or her needs and to contribute to the on-going development of the technology to the benefit of all the users, providing benefits such as security and reliability that commercially restricted, binary-only operating systems simply cannot match.
