Red Hat is considered one of the most important versions of Linux due to its strong focus on enterprise solutions, providing stability, security, and extensive support for businesses. As a pioneer in open-source software, Red Hat offers a robust ecosystem of tools and services, including the widely used Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Its commitment to community collaboration and innovation has led to significant contributions to the Linux kernel and other open-source projects, making it a key player in the technology landscape. Additionally, Red Hat's subscription model ensures ongoing updates and support, enhancing its appeal for enterprises.
Red Hat Linux was discontinued in 2003, and replaced with "Red Hat Enterprise Linux", and the free, home-use version "Fedora". Updates were discontinued for Red Hat after 2006.
Initially it was just called "Red Hat Linux", but now Red Hat focuses exclusively on the enterprise market with its Linux distribution named "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" (RHEL) with the community version named CentOS (Community ENTerprise Operating System) and Fedora (a Red Hat-supported community Linux distribution)
Red hat linux is the best to learn and use if you want a stable operating system.

Linux is an operating system, more specifically, an operating system kernel. Linux is the operating system on which so many system distributions are built on, such as Ubuntu, Android, Chrome OS, Gentoo, Debian, Red Hat, CentOS. The latest DEVELOPMENT VERSION as of this answer is 3.10-rc5. The latest STABLE VERSION as of this answer is 3.9.5.
RHEL 5 was the first release of Red Hat to ship with Python 2.4
There is no "Linux 4" or "Linux 9." I'm not sure where people get these numbers from. They could be reading the version numbers of a particular distro (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9). However, the Linux kernel is developed centrally and then subsequently used by all of the distribution vendors. The current stable version of the Linux kernel is 2.6.30; the 2.6 kernel line is expected to continue indefinitely.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, 5.4/ commonly linux.
There isn't one. First of all, like most Linux systems, 99.9% of all drivers that are available for Red Hat Linux will be installed by default. Secondly, all distributions branded "Red Hat Linux" are obsolete and will not work correctly with modern hardware. The modern counterpart to Red Hat Linux is Red Hat EnterpriseLinux.
== == There is no Linux 9 yet. In fact, there is no Linux 3 yet. Linux is still at major version 2. If you meant to ask about the differencences between R-HEL 4 an R-HEL 9, please ask the question again. What most people commonly refer to as "Linux" is actually the kernel or operating system for GNU/Linux. The operating system by itself provides amongst other things a (software) platform for programs to execute on. The reason for the "GNU" prefix relates the the utilities that form part of the user's view of the operating system. These utilites allow the creation of directories, the editing of files, deleting files, etc. These utilities are not distributed in a bundled form with the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel itself is distributed under a special license known as the GNU Public Licence (GPL) which allows people to distribute is legally, and to obtain it freely. Freely here does not refer to price, however. Many software vendors have started creating tools and bundled packages which include the Linux kernel. These vendors, such as Red Hat, or Mandrake, or SuSe, will then give their particular release a version number, such as Red Hat Linux 4, or Mandrake Linux 10.1. The difference mainly includes updated utilities, and an updated (newer) version of the Kernel itself. It is important to realise, however, that there is really no such thing as Linux 4, or Linux 9. One may see something along the Lines of Linux 2.4.26 or Linux 2.6, which is referring to the version or release of the Linux Kernel.
The best solution is this command (actually two in one): uname -a && cat /etc/*release The first part of the command tells you the version of the Linux kernel that is running. The second part of the command tells you the name of the distribution, like "Red Hat Enterprise Linux X.X". When asked this same question, most people only answer the first part, which is not always what the user needs to know.
red hat enterprise Linux is used as a server while red hat Linux is used as client..
