Hey, folks, let's get started with Red Hat, Enterprise, Linux, Linux, as we know it's everywhere,
it's in cloud and smartphones, airplanes, smart TVs, gadgets and many, many other devices that run
Linux.
So what we will learn in this video is what is Open-Source?
What are the Linux distributions and itself sort of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and what are its advantages?
So let's dive right in.
So let's get started with open source.
Open source offer is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder
grants.
Use it the right to use, study change and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and
for any purpose.
Open source software is developed in a decentralized and collaborative way, relying on peer review
and community production.
Open source software is often cheaper, more flexible and has more longevity than its proprietary peers
because it is developed.
But communities rather than a single author or a company.
Linux is a free, open source operating systems release and a new journal public license.
It's also become the largest open source software project in the world.
Red Hat, which we are point a focused Red Hat Enterprise Linux, is built from open source components.
The kernel itself and the supporting software are all open source.
However, Red Hat has built infrastructure support and a suite of services that will let you license
their branded vision branded version of enterprise Linux and use it in the production.
So everything that we have used in Linux is pretty much coming from an open source and open source is
not just those volunteers, guys that are everywhere in the world, they're actually contributing toward
the code.
Basically, there are companies like Red Hat who actually hire developers to contribute toward the development
of open source Linux.
All right.
Moving on to Linux distribution, let's take a look at what are the distribution of Linux?
A Linux distribution is an open is an operating system composed of the Linux kernel, JNU tools, additional
software and a package manager.
So basically, any Linux or any operating system that is built on a Linux kernel is part of Linux or
it's a Linux operating system.
So let's look at example of some of the Linux distribution that we have.
Well, number one is a Red Hat, and we know Red Hat has its own subscription and it has one of the
biggest market share in the Linux industry as overall the operating system market share.
Right now, it is thirty two point seven percent.
Moving on to Santos or Santos is just like a Red Hat.
It's an identical copy.
It's the only difference between Red Hat and Santos as Santos is available to you.
There is no support given to you.
You can use it just like Red Hat.
But in Red Hat, you could get production or support from Red Hat customer service so they could provide
you technical support and packages in update.
Moving on to abont to a Buntu is based on Debian, and it is released in three editions.
One is desktop, second is server and third one is core of Internet of Things, devices and robotics.
It's very familiar.
Sorry, very famous around robotics, then moving on to Susie.
Susie is an operating system again in open source operating system development Germany, and nowadays
most of the time, sushi is used for SAP applications.
Then, moving on to Fedora, Fedora is also an open source version of Red Hat.
A lot of times the developers contributed to fedora code, and once that is built, they convert that
into the Red Hat.
Then moving on to the last one is Kali Linux.
Now, Kali Linux is derived from a buntu and is used and famous for digital forensics and penetration
testing.
So there are, by the way, there are many other Linux distribution as well.
I covered the most basic ones that mostly you are familiar with.
All right.
Moving on to Red Hat, Linux Red Hat is one of the leading contributors to Linux kernel and associated
technology in the Greater Open.
One source community.
IBM acquired Red Hat in 2018 for 34 billion dollars.
Red Hat Linux current version is right now.
Eight product lifecycle of Red Hat Linux operating system is 10 years.
You could download and use any supported version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux software, meaning that
you may upgrade to the latest version for no additional cost.
It allows you to have live kernel patching, so avoiding the need for a system reboot.
If you're running production application, it allows you to access a Red Hat Enterprise Linux documentation
and as well as Customer Portal Labs.
