Beta version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1

"Red Hat says that reducing overheads has, for example, improved the distribution's virtualisation performance. The distributor also notes that it has extended the control group's functionality. From 6.1, the High Availability add-on will reportedly offer failover handling functions for KVM guest systems. The beta's new and improved drivers include particularly many network, storage and graphics hardware drivers; for example, RHEL 6.1 offers a driver for the graphics chip included in the Sandy Bridge processors Intel introduced at the beginning of the year. Red Hat has also promised PCI Express 3.0 support."
