First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the reinvention dept.

Susie D writes "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was released today, and Linux Format has an in-depth first look (with screenshots aplenty). With RHEL 5, Red Hat aims to become even more 'open', by using a shorter and clearer SLA, improving community involvement through its Knowledge Base, and providing the new Red Hat Exchange. But what you really want to know is, yes, it does include XGL for fancy 3D desktop effects."

    Not really. Nothing wrong with being a starving student. But being too thick to realize that there is a whole world outside the hobbiest/student demographic is kinda lame.

    And wouldn't want to give the impression even that a student running Gentoo is less important than a corporate install. After all, the Gentoo users at least exercise the portability of a lot of packages that wouldn't otherside get it. There probably aren't two Gentoo build/install environments exactly alike.
