WBEL4 Preview Ready For Testing

Posted by timothy on from the amazing-margins-up-to-65-percent dept.

linuxbeta writes "A preview of WBEL4 (White Box Enterprise Linux) is currently available via BitTorrent. White Box nicely fills the niche between Fedora and RHEL. WBEL Sreenshots. WBEL FAQ. With this latest White Box Enterprise Linux release, is it time to walk away from RHEL?" Not if you want support from Red Hat, it's not.

    It would appear that your crude attempt at ascii art is incorrectly formatted. You fail it harshly, in a story about some stupid linux thing nobody cares about-that means linux has kicked your ass.

    Yeah! I just saw those screenshots and they totally convinced me that CentOS is a much better OS than RHEL and WhiteBox Linux.
