A Few Details On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 was just released, but Red Hat engineers have 
| already been working on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and today a few details 
| regarding this next major feature release were learned during the Red Hat 
| Summit in Chicago. Details regarding RHEL 6.0 are scant, especially with Red 
| Hat being a public company and all, but some new information was gained today 
| and some signals of what's coming down the pipe can already be spotted in 
| Fedora.

Red Hat makes KVM its Linux virtualization of choice

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite Red Hatâs surprising announcement last week that it would be
| partnering with Microsoft on virtualization, on February 23rd, Red Hatâs
| announced that it would be switching its virtualization strategy from a mix
| of virtualization programs, including the Microsoft-friendly Xen, to focusing
| on Linuxâs baked-in KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
|
| KVM, as Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens admitted during a press call, is still a
| work in progress. But, Stevens assured the audience, by working with IBM and
| Intel, Red Hat will be able to deliver its full Red Hat Virtualization
| portfolio within the next 12-months. The first fruits of this switch will
| appear in RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 5.4, which is due out in August
| 2009.

KVM virtualisation in Red Hat Linux next year

,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat will be in a position to offer Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM), the open
| source virtualisation it garnered with the acquisition of Qumranet, in the
| first half of 2009.
|
| Asked by CBR when Red Hat will be able to offer the KVM technology as part of
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the firmâs president and CEO Jim Whitehurst said it
| is âhighly likelyâ that it would be during calendar 2009 but would not be
| drawn further.
