Dear Nantu,

Fedora is Linux-based operating system and also a digital repository software. Can be used for both. Previously the resository software was called as Fedora-common, now changed to Duraspace. Hence fedora can be both as Os and digital repository.

 

Regards,

Dear
Fedora is a free and open source operating system(OS) of LINUX based OS and Fedora is the third most popular OS with UBUNTU and MINT, both are also LINUX based and free, open source software. For your information, Open source repository system is an electronic repository system for E-document and access these documents through web based application . So any organization such as library,University which provides open access facility then used an open source repository software and for this an Open Source OS will require for managements, controlling , user login, downloading/ access . Others free and open source software of LINUX based OS are OpenSuse, Debian,Gentoo, etc.
