20 years ago on November 6, 2003, Fedora Linux, originating as "Fedora Core," began in 2003.
Originally referred to as "Fedora Core," Fedora Linux forked from Red Hat Linux in 2003. This move came as Red Hat Linux was phased out, enabling Red Hat to focus on its paid server version, Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Fedora Linux became a community distribution, while Red Hat Enterprise Linux continued as the official Red Hat-supported distribution.
