White Box Enterprise Linux was a free Linux distribution that was 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 was 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This project is no longer active; the last release was in 2007 . A distribution with the same goals, which is still actively maintained, is CentOS.

Famous quotes containing the words white, box and/or enterprise:
“I am black: I am the incarnation of a complete fusion with the world, an intuitive understanding of the earth, an abandonment of my ego in the heart of the cosmos, and no white man, no matter how intelligent he may be, can ever understand Louis Armstrong and the music of the Congo.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“He had put, within his reach,
A box of counters and a red-veined stone,
A piece of glass abraded by the beach,
And six or seven shells,
A bottle with bluebells,
And two French copper coins, ranged there with careful art,”
—Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)
“Huck was always willing to take a hand in any enterprise that offered entertainment and required no capital, for he had a troublesome superabundance of that sort of time which is not money.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
