From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Box Enterprise Linux was a free Linux distribution that is an alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, primarily funded by the Beauregard Parish Library in Louisiana. White Box aimed to be 100% binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This product was derived from the free software made available by Red Hat, Inc but is not produced, maintained or supported by Red Hat. Specifically, this product was forked from the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux under the terms and conditions of the free software licences under which it is distributed.
This project is no longer active; the last update on the web page is from late 2007, and the last release was from 2007, even though an updated version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 was in late 2008 [1][citation needed]
