Red Hat is one of the leading contributors to the Linux kernel and associated technologies in the greater open source community, and has been since the beginning. Red Hat engineers help improve features, reliability, and security to make sure your infrastructure performs and remains stable—no matter your use case and workload.
Red Hat Inc. is a company. Linux is a kernel (which is an important part of an operating system, but not the only part. A kernel alone is almost useless ). Red Hat maintains and supports an operating system which is based on Linux, which is called Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL for short).
One more question we ran across in our research was “What is Red Hat Enterprise Linux used for?”.
, red Hat Enterprise Linux clone called Scientific Linux is being used to perform all the computing at CERN laboratories, which is tremendous load, let me tell you. Besides this, Oracle Enterprise Linux itself has emerged as a major player in Enterprise OS market and it too is a RHEL clo.
