“Enterprise Linux is the open source Linux operating
system used by corporate and SMB clients for servers, desktops,
workstations and mobile deployments. Enterprise Linux has become
increasingly popular due to cost and customizability factors.

“To better understand what enterprise Linux is, one must first
understand each of the related distributions of this product, along
with its many functions. Then you have to consider enterprise
Linux’s varied levels of functionality.

“Red Hat Enterprise Linux

“Red Hat Linux was first released to the world in 1994 as Red
Hat Linux 1.0. Created by the company Red Hat, it was the first
Linux distro that used the RPM package manager. In 2003, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux was born.”
