Red Hat History

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, also known as RHEL, is a Linux distribution developed for the commercial market, including mainframes. The first version of RHEL bearing the Red Hat name was originally marketed as "Red Hat Linux Advanced Server," but in 2003 the product was rebranded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, or RHEL AS. At that time two additional variants were added, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Edge Server (RHEL ES) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (RHEL WS).

Currently Red Hat supports each version it releases for 7 years and releases new versions every 18 to 24 months. Red Hat customers are able to upgrade to the newest version for free as long as they have a current subscription.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Variants

RHEL is available in four variants:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server (RHEL AS) – used for large systems.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Edge Server or Entry-level Server (RHEL ES) – used for medium systems.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (RHEL WS) – used for personal power-user desktops.
• Red Hat Desktop – used for client-oriented single-users.

In addition, Red Hat offers academic editions at a lower cost to schools and students. Academic editions are available for both the desktop and server variants. Technical support is an optional extra with Web support also available based on the number of customer contacts.
