Red Hat and HP Optimize Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for HP BladeSystem Matrix
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday, Red Hat announced the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
| 5.4, the foundation of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization portfolio of
| solutions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 is now available on HP BladeSystem
| and HP ProLiant servers. With this combination, customers can take advantage
| of an open source, standards-based virtual infrastructure that provides

Is 7 years of RHEL support still sufficient ?
,----[ Quote ]
| It makes a lot of sense, now that Linux in general is maturing (and more
| specifically, the kernel is not having major bumpy releases) and new main
| RHEL releases are slowing down. Less reasons for a new major release. Less
| effort to back-port functionality and features. In turn, Red Hat can better
| deploy its existing resources to fewer supported releases, but instead
| support them longer.

Fedora, good and bad

| In the past few days, since Iâve been spending time at my sisterâs house,
| Iâve used as single system the laptop I bought a few months ago, with runs
| Fedora 11. This has been my first time, since I started working in Gentoo,
| that I had to work with just a laptop (if you exclude the hospitalisations)
| and especially the first time since I started using Gentoo that I had to work
| with just another Linux distribution.
