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."

    (now if'n you can get Vista to install w/o a GUI, well - that I've gotta see...)

    Actually with the server version of Vista you will be able to, just hasn't make much sense with the current desktop version. Of course, its a bit funny that this is mentioned as being an innovation in the article, but thats for another day ;-)

    Vista without a GUI you say...hmmm...that one sounds like a real Netware Lite killer to me!
