“The upgrade lets users run the Unix-like system on servers with
as many as four processors in a symmetric multiprocessing
configuration and uses either the Gnome or KDE graphical user
interface-or both simultaneously.”

“Red Hat Linux 6.0 fully supports RAID hard-disk subsystems,
including the ability to hot-swap disk drives without turning off
or rebooting the system. And for the first time, Red Hat will
provide 30 days of unlimited free telephone support.”

“Art Fowler, a Unix systems administrator and Red Hat Linux user
at Northrop Grumman Corp.’s commercial aircraft division in Dallas,
has manually installed most of the functions that are provided in
Red Hat Linux 6.0. ‘If I had any new installs, I’d enjoy having
[6.0],’ Fowler says. Fowler runs both KDE and Gnome, sometimes
simultaneously, without any system conflicts.
