RHEL 5: The first 21st Century Operating system

[eddie]

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols of Linux-Watch reports about the latest release of Redhat Enterprise Linux and he is all praise for the product. The heartening fact is that this is the same guy who earlier reported that RHEL 5 Beta was in terrible shape and needed lots of work to get into any shape at all. Now, with the final release he seems highly satisfied and goes on to say that it is probably the first (and only?) 21st Century operating system.

When you consider RHEL 5's virtualization and storage cost savings, its high-end security and improved application support, you have to agree that this Linux is a serious challenger for any server replacement you may be considering. Solaris, Server 2003, AIX, whatever: RHEL 5 is the first 21st century operating system. All companies from the smallest mom-and-pop shop to the largest global enterprise should give it some serious consideration.

They have also introduced a new client edition for Desktops. And I think they'll sell individual licenses for it, too. CentOS, however, is good enough for me.
