RHEL 6

Tuesday, May 18. 2010

Well, fuck me. RHEL has put its foot into the door and brought itself up to date with the 21st Century.

RHEL 6 I must admit, does look rather good! Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of RPM, I much prefer DPKG but the latest data on RHEL6 does peak my interest.

I'm just curious whats going to happen with the distributions forked from this Distribution, ala Centos etc, as theres no mention of a Centos 6 on there site for example.

Im just wondering how long it will be until they bring themselves up to date like allmost every other distribution has. I think that even Redhat has realised now, that theres only so far you can go with backporting stuff from newer kernels, before you have no choice but to upgrade the kernel itself.

Oh well, only time will tell.

They only released Centos 5.5 in the last few days! It could be a long wait I think

Also, the pedant within me couldn't really resist pointing out your minor typo:

apt is to .deb as yum is to .rpm.
dpkg is to .deb as rpm is to .rpm.

In other words, comparing rpm to apt is a little unfair.
