Red Hat Begins Testing Core 5

Robert wrote to mention a CBR Online article which reports that Red Hat has begun testing on Fedora Core 5. From the article: "The next version of Raleigh, North Carolina-based Red Hat's enterprise Linux distribution is not scheduled for release until the second half of 2006 but will include stateless Linux and Xen virtualization functionality and improved management capabilities. Fedora Core 5 Release 1 includes updated support for XenSource Inc's open source server virtualization software, as well as new versions of the Gnome and KDE user interfaces, and the final version of the OpenOffice.org application suite."

Redhat Experiences

[harryoyster]

I am a member of a team that runs several thousand Redhat Enterprise Linux servers ranging from 2.1 through to 4. All the way from single process systems right upto 8+ processors. Now Redhat enterprise suits corporate environments because its a platform that is maintained for ages. However I have had it totally with redhats quality control massive dependancy chains and the over all way that Redhat is. I so often feel that it wants to be the microsoft of open source. I cant really say much good about redhat in general. I do appreciate many of the people that redhat hire and the input they have had to open source in general. But Redhat as a company is running behind the game, Their customer support system sucks. They dont have a good RSS feed system to announce issues to people. they are very closed minded when it comes to customer service. Compared to our Novel (SuSe) experience redhat is so appauling.
