Fifteen Years of Fedora

Nice! Fedora was one of the first distros I used all those years ago, before switching to openSUSE and later Ubuntu/Debian.

I didn't realise that when I started using it in high school, it was still a relatively young distro (2006-7)!

I did expect there to be a bit more about the history and development in the article though. After the heading "A history lesson" I was expecting it to trace through some major changes in the past 15 years.

Fedora Core had a history as Redhat Linux (not Redhat Enterprise Linux), with nine major releases. I left rpm based distributions with FC1 (only to return in the 20-something releases).

You know, the Wikipedia page for Fedora could really use some help. Both

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(operating_system)

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Project

There _is_ a lot of interesting history, both technical and in the project structure and culture.

I'd update the page myself, but, you know. :)
