“Red Hat Inc. Monday officially announced the latest version of
its suite of Linux products, Red Hat Linux 6.1.”
“Coming on the heels of Sun’s recent decision to open-source
its Solaris operating system, this latest version includes
automatic software update notification, improved management and
installation tools, and the Linux 2.2.12 kernel.“
“True to its open-source nature, the entire package is available
for free on Red Hat’s FTP servers, though the rush of
first-on-the-block downloaders has made access next to impossible
for most of the day. For those with a few bucks to burn,
shrink-wrapped packages (we’re talkin’ CD’s in boxes here, the real
McCoy) are available at prices ranging from $29.95 to $140.95.”
