Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 Released; RHEL 6 Coming Soon

By Sean Michael Kerner

“Red Hat is updating its flagship Linux server, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to version 5.5 providing performance and
feature improvements.

“The new Red Hat (NYSE:RHT) release takes advantage of the
latest Intel and AMD processors as well as advancements in
virtualization and Windows interoperability. The release of RHEL
5.5 comes as Red Hat is about to begin to ramp up its next
generation Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 platform.

“”We overlap on our releases as it takes many years to produce

Burke, vice president of platform engineering at Red Hat, told

release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.”
