CNET News.com: Red Hat, Oracle to promote beefed up Linux version

“Red Hat will update several features of Linux to make it better

version, the companies said today.”

“The work will help bring several high-end features to an
upcoming version of the Linux operating system from Red Hat.
However, development of many of those features is already under way
at Red Hat and other companies.”

Among the improvements: software to run Java programs, the
ability to address larger amounts of memory, a “journaling file
system” to help Linux computers recover from crashes faster, and an
update to Linux to get it to run on Intel’s upcoming 64-bit
chips.
