Red Hat launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9 on March 21, providing users of its older operating system with an incremental update boasting improved security capabilities.
Although the leading edge of Red Hat’s enterprise platform is currently the RHEL 7.x branch, Red Hat continues to bring new features to RHEL 6.x as well. It first released RHEL 6 in November 2010, and today’s 6.9 update will usher in what Red Hat refers to as Production Phase 3.
