Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Desktop edition

“Red Hat may be one of the few companies in the world that
really get open source. Red Hat builds its products on open source,
is very liberal with its source code and actively supports
important projects with developer hours. On top of that, Red Hat
has proved to be profitable in a market where commercial offerings
usually struggle to break even. For years the Red Hat brand was
widely viewed as “the Linux”, rather than “a Linux” distribution.
Even Hollywood recognizes the name. It’s been nearly four years
since the last major Enterprise Linux release (5.0) came out and
I’ve been curious to see what Red Hat has been quietly working on
these past several months. To that end, I got in touch with my
local account manager who kindly set me up with a copy of RHEL 6
(Desktop Edition).

“The data on the install DVD takes up approximately 2.8 GB of
space and boots into a simple boot menu that offers the user the
options to install RHEL, rescue the system or boot from the local
disk. Taking the installation option brings up a screen asking if
we would like to perform a media check to insure the disc is
uncorrupted. Once the check passes, the Red Hat graphical
installer, Anaconda, loads and begins the usual series of
questions.”
