@Brianreading:: given that other OSes that IBM didn't originally develop (PC-DOS, z/Linux, the Digital Research Concurrent DOS/FlexOS-based 4680 OS and 4690 OS) are listed here, RHEL and Fedora could also go here.

But does Fedora belong in the "Projects" section? Yes, it's produced by the "Fedora Project", but, unlike the other OSes there, it's neither a researchy project like K42, nor a project that eventually became part of mainstream Linux like Project Trillian, nor a project that was intended to be a commercial OS but that never came to fruition, like the others - it's very much a live, separate Linux distribution used in the real world. I might put it in the "Server, mainframe" and "Desktop, workstation" categories. Guy Harris (talk) 03:22, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Guy Harris: Your logic is sound. I support your edit if you'd like to make it. Brian Reading (talk) 15:10, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also linked "Fedora" to Fedora (operating system). Guy Harris (talk) 18:09, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
