The Red Hat Developers Program is aimed at individual developers responsible for single machines or small networks. Advanced Support Programs are offered for larger development teams or larger networks of Linux machines.
The Program consists of the following:
Members of the Red Hat Developers Program will receive on CD-ROM the absolute latest hot-off-the-burner Red Hat Commercial Linux release monthly. These releases are only available through the Developers Program -- general public releases are only made quarterly.
Each monthly release will contain new and upgraded RPPs (Red Hat Program Packages), tracking the latest in stable Linux components and Red Hat administration tools, as well as providing important timely security fixes. To update your installation each month, simply mount the new CD and run the provided update program which queries your system and upgrades all your installed RPPs.
These notes detail the changes from the previous release and related issues, and introduce issues that will become important in the future.
The developers mailing list will be used for discussion of Linux and Red Hat Commercial Linux. It will also be used to keep members up to date on Linux issues, saving the time and effort of searching through thousands of Usenet posts and subscribing to dozens of mailing lists.
You know that having access to knowledgable support is critical to successful timely development projects. The difference between success or failure to deliver your project on time is often as simple as getting through to the right person for your question. Red Hat's technical support is designed to get your Red Hat Linux system running smoothly. We also offer advanced consulting and configuration services.
The ability to develop and test your products against new technologies before they ship on a new public release of Red Hat Commercial Linux will help you maintain a competitive edge in your market. The Developers Program provides for this in three ways.
Red Hat Linux Development Program contributors:
Working with leading linux developers from Erik Troan of Sunsite to Rik
Faith of the Bogus Distribution to many members of NCSU's EOS team, Marc
Ewing has been able to build the most advanced and stable Commercial Linux
distribution.
The Red Hat team are now keen to share their in-depth knowledge of Linux and
the uses that Linux can be put to, with commercial users of these technologies.
