Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta released (Linux-Watch)
Linux-Watch
takes a look at the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 beta release.
"This beta is being made available across the entire RHEL family. So you can try both the vanilla RHEL 5.2 and the Advanced Platform version on the AMD and Intel 64, Itanium, S/390, System p, and System z platforms. The beta for the RHEL 5 Desktop for x86 and AMD64/Intel is also being made available.
The major upgrades are going to be in virtualization. RHEL is upgrading its core virtualization hypervisor, Xen, to Xen 3.1.2. It also features improvements in its NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) interface as well as support for up to 64 processors per system with up to 512GB of memory per server."

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta released (Linux-Watch) Posted Mar 13, 2008 21:09 UTC (Thu) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] I suppose Linux-Watch didn't get the message, either, about Red Hat's war on RHEL. Face it, Red Hat: "RHEL" is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta released (Linux-Watch) Posted Mar 13, 2008 22:27 UTC (Thu) by epa (subscriber, #39769) [Link] But what does RHEL stand for? Could it be a recursive acronym standing for RHEL Has Egregious Lawyers, or something?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta released (Linux-Watch) Posted Mar 14, 2008 0:49 UTC (Fri) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] I didn't care for the message saying that "RHEL" is never correct either. But let's keep things in perspective: no Red Hat lawyer has gone after anyone , or complained to anyone, for saying "RHEL".
Versions Posted Mar 14, 2008 12:40 UTC (Fri) by eru (subscriber, #2753) [Link] Linked article: will come with the absolute newest of the major Linux desktop applications. These include Evolution 2.12.3, Firefox 3, OpenOffice 2.3.0Hmm, OpenOffice.org 2.3.1 has already been available for a few months now. And it was a worthwhile upgrade: I sometimes need to work with MS doc files based on a certain corporate template that failed with prior versions, 2.3.0 included, but are OK with 2.3.1. I hope they update the version in the final release. It may be that Firefox 3 is also released by the time RHEL 5.2 is.
Versions Posted Mar 15, 2008 23:02 UTC (Sat) by sbergman27 (guest, #10767) [Link] *sigh* I just moved my biggest XDMCP/NX server from CentOS 4.6 to Fedora 8 because I didn't want my users to be stuck with ancient versions of Evolution, etc. and now Redhat decides to stay more current. I've been disappointed by a number of embarrassing quality control issues in F8. (i.e. gdm is *locked* at a maximum of 16 xdmcp sessions. The default has to be changed in the source and recompiled to increase that number.) I might have considered sticking with CentOS had I known this change in policy was coming.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Beta released (Linux-Watch) Posted Apr 30, 2008 20:58 UTC (Wed) by mickrussom (guest, #51838) [Link] Retarded. Everyone calls it RHEL. Get over it. The RHEL-repackagers expose the stupidity in creating strata in a product line. Its RHEL. There is no Desktop. There is no Server. There is no Advanced Server. I think RHEL should be offered as Redhat used to be: One size fits all OS, with install profiles being the only difference. The license is simply an un-enforced right to use.
