2.7 The Fedora Project
Red Hat also sponsors the Fedora Project, the goal of which is to provide access to a free Linux operating system (in both source and binary distributions) in the form of Fedora Linux. Fedora Linux also serves as a proving ground for many of the new features that are eventually adopted into the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system family. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0, for example, was based to a large extent on Fedora 29.
