“Linux vendor Red Hat is out this week with the second
major milestone for the next generation of its enterprise Linux
release, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL), as the Linux player
ramps up development for its flagship operating system.“The development of RHEL 6 has been closely watched as Red Hat
(NYSE: RHT) seeks to grow its already sizable share of the
enterprise Linux market, though the company remains cagey over an
exact release date. When it ships, RHEL 6 will provide new
performance, virtualization and hardware enablement for Red Hat’s
enterprise users. RHEL 6 Beta 2 follows the RHEL 6 Beta 1 release
by just over two months, and while it builds on the earlier beta,
testers shouldn’t expect to see any major new features at this
point.“”The majority of functionality landed in Beta 1,” Tim Burke,
vice president of platform engineering at Red Hat, told
InternetNews.com. “What is in Beta 2 is primarily fixes and minor
late-breaking enhancements.””
