First look: Red Hat 6 built for the long

,----[ Quote ]
| Another important advancement in this new 
| version is the ability for the OS to 
| manipulate the power usage of applications. 
| These features are capable through the use of 
| a tickles kernel, which enables timer 
| interrupts. If applications are not using the 
| CPU, the computer can basically go idle until 
| an application needs it. This creates cooler-
| running CPUs, and reduces the overall power 
| consumption. When tested on a laptop PC, we 
| found that it did indeed run cooler with 
| these features enabled, especially when using 
| only a couple programs with everything else 
| sitting idle.

Test Driving Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

,----[ Quote ]
| OFBâs Ed Hurst continues his quest for the
| perfect UNIX or Linux operating system by
| looking at a recently released beta of Red
| Hatâs upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
| Is it the Linux nirvana? Read on to find
| out.

| [...]
|
| For the non-profit computer ministry I'm
| running, I would say the new CentOS 6 is
| going to become one of our flagship distros
| based on what I've seen in RHEL 6 Beta.
| Give it a test drive!

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Kernel: What Is It?

,----[ Quote ]
| Sitting at the heart of every Linux OS
| distribution is a Linux kernel. When it
| comes to the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise
| Linux (RHEL) 6 release, the issue of which
| kernel is being used is not a cut and dried
| answer, however.
|
| RHEL 6 is currently in its first beta
| release, with a feature freeze now in
| place. Currently, the mainline Linux kernel
| is nearing its 2.6.34 release, while the
| most recent stable release is the 2.6.33
| release, which came out in February. But
| instead of either sticking with the 2.6.33
| Linux kernel or holding out for 2.6.34, Red
| Hat is taking a different approach.

Enterprise Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS has been referred to often as Red Hat
| without the expensive support price tag. This
| is accurate, as CentOS is indeed based on Red
| Hat Enterprise Linux. Unlike its Red Hat
| counterpart however, CentOS is completely free
| of charge, enterprise friendly and is designed
| to meet the needs of enterprise servers,
| workstations and desktop environments.

CentOS Server Evaluation

,----[ Quote ]
| Evaluating the CentOS Enterprise Server
| There are a number of popular choices for
| Linux enterprise level servers including
| CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware and others
| including Red Hat Enterprise. This series of
| articles on a choice for a Linux Server will
| compare several of these Linux distributions
| to examine the advantages and disadvantages
| of each distribution. What is important to
| recognize in this evaluation is that how you
| view advantages and disadvantages are
| dependent upon the expertise of your Linux
| administrators and the level of support you
| need to maintain your servers.
