New Red Hat Beta Available

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-play-with dept.

nd writes "A new beta of Red Hat is out, available at the Red Hat FTP site. This presumably pre-6.1 release is named Lorax, with quite a bit of new features (note: this is beta and is NOT intended for everyone). Perhaps the biggest is their new installation program, Anaconda, featuring gtk+ and text interfaces. Even better, Anaconda is GPLed. Mirror list available here. Check it out. "

  1. Re:Writing programs that only run under RedHat? by Fastolfe · · Score: 3

    Umm, these programs and widget sets work just fine under other flavors of Unix (including all distributions of Linux).

    Just because it SHIPS with RedHat (or says, "...for RedHat Linux!") doesn't mean it will run only under RedHat.
