'''Enterprise Linux''', or simply '''EL''', describes any [[Linux]] distribution based on [[Red Hat]]'s "Enterprise Linux", itself referred to as [[RHEL]]. It is common to see the acronym '''ELx''' where '''x''' is a version number., ie: '''EL6''', '''EL7''', '''EL8''' or '''EL9'''. Perhaps the most popular, free '''EL''' distribution was [[CentOS]], until [[Red Hat]] took over the project and eventually cancelled it. To replace it, [[AlmaLinux]] and [[Rocky Linux]] were created.

	[[Red Hat~~]], under the terms of~~ the [[~~GPL~~]] ~~and similar licenses~~, ~~makes available all of the source code for~~ it~~'s commercial "Enterprise Linux" distributions. This forms the foundation for freely available~~, community driven distributions like [[CentOS]] who aim to provide [[binary]]-compatible versions available. Of course, these "down stream providers" must remove [[Red Hat]]'s trademarked branding when doing so.		Red Hat created the [[CentOS Stream]] project, which no longer tracks RHEL exactly, but leads it with updates before RHEL, and has a shorter supported life space.
