Fedora’s Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux – the Extra Mile
,----[ Quote ]
| What started as an effort to package software not included in Red Hat
| Enterprise Linux has grown to be the most interesting part of Fedora for some
| ISVs. Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, or EPEL, is not a mass rebuild of
| all Fedora software for Enterprise Linux. It is a disciplined set of packages
| with a maintenance philosophy that aligns with Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat In Boston, Part 1.1: Why 'Faster' Isn't Always Faster
,----[ Quote ]
| Rik van Riel, senior software engineer for Red Hat, braved multiple
| interruptions by a hair-trigger fire-alarm system to tell us how, as
| counterintuitive as it might seem, faster components may lead to slower
| systems. The size and speed of your hard drive hasn't kept pace with the
| amount of data being retrieved from it and, no thanks to Moore's Law, the age
| of what van Riel called "hardware miracles" is pretty much over. From here on
| out it's an arms race -- hardware advances being unable to keep pace with the
| increasing demands put on them.
