Enterprise Linux: The Story So Far

Red Hat's popular Enterprise Linux distribution has spawned a growing ecosystem of derivatives and rebuilds that organisations around the world have come to rely on due to their reputation for stability.
This video charts the history of Enterprise Linux, from the early software that inspired Linux and the organisations that helped develop it, through to the modern Enterprise Linux distributions we know today and the formation of trade associations such as OpenELA.

Fun fact: SUSE changed the page for Liberty Linux and made it more clear its a support contract because of me.

It used to say "Request demo" instead of "Request pricing".

I was under the impression that Liberty Linux was a fork of RHEL. Curious to learn more about it and possibly get my hands on an ISO image I contacted them requesting a "demo". I spoke to a couple people on the phone about it still under the impression. Once I was able to have a meeting with someone I asked about the distribution and let them know my intent to learn about it. I was informed that it is a support contract and they apologized for the confusion. I was pleased with what I could gather. A day or so passes before the page was changed.

It all got a bit muddled when time was called on Centos, but its getting clearer again now in terms of running a free platform o/s whilst still being "intune" with RHEL...
