I have updated RHUM to work with Fedora Core. You can now create custom Linux distributions based of Fedora using RHUM the say way as RedHat 6 through 9.

There is also a crude script linked from this page that will create a network install base using the yarrow images.

I've updated RHUM.

The old version(s) used Perl modules for parsing RPM headers. This caused conflicts between versions of RedHat due to changes in the module. This version uses the rpm binary, so it should work across all versions of RedHat. Also, It now supports an unlimited number of update directories and the command line interface has been improved.

Its been predicted for awhile that Linus would move to OSDL.

] The city of Munich said on Wednesday it would switch

] system to rival Linux in a deal estimated to be worth

] Media have reported that Microsoft's offer of about
] 27.3 million euros ($32.3 million) had been almost
] three million euros below that of the Linux competitor,
] but the city had still chosen Linux for strategic reasons.

If I had to venture a guess, there are three big reasons why Linux won here.. 1) It runs great on older hardware (why wants to buy new hardware if they don't have to?), 2) They did not expect to get such a good price from Microsoft again when upgrade time came around, and 3) They want to use products that put money in their local economy, not Redmond's.
