Utilities and Tools
Over and above Red Hat's major products and acquisitions, Red Hat programmers have produced software programming-tools and utilities to supplement standard Unix and Linux software. Some of these Red Hat "products" have found their way from specifically Red Hat operating environments via open-source channels to a wider community. Such utilities include:
- Disk Druid – for disk partitioning
- rpm – for package management
- sosreport – gathers system hardware and configuration details
- systemtap – tracing tool for Linux kernels, developed with IBM, Hitachi, Oracle and Intel
- NetworkManager
The Red Hat website lists the organization's major involvements in free and open-source software projects.
Community projects under the aegis of Red Hat include:
- the Pulp application for software repository management.
