Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 released
Red Hat has announced the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 .
The kernel used is 2.6.32 with backports from newer versions. For web developers, the most noticeable is that finally the latest popular software versions appeared in the distribution - PHP 5.3 (was 5.1), Python 2.6 (was 2.4), MySQL 5.1 (was 5.0), PostgreSQL 8.4 (was 8.1). The Ext4 file system now has Production status instead of Experimental.
As a virtualization system, RHEL 6 uses KVM. Xen guest systems can use the kernel with pv_ops, but working as a dom0 (host) is now impossible, and it’s a pity.
