“Red Hat, the top seller of the Linux operating system, will begin offering a higher-end and more specialized version of Linux later this year that won’t be as easy to find as the current all-purpose package. Red Hat will demonstrate its coming Advanced Server product this week at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in New York and plans to begin selling it mid-spring, said Paul Cormier, executive vice president of engineering at the Durham, N.C., company.” Read the rest of the report at ZDNews.

My Linux driving friends say RedHat Linux 7.2 is really nice for those who are terrified of Linux when it comes to installing. I keep hearing nothing buy good. We’re actually running a Dual AMD Athlon 1.6 GHz machine x-windowing Solaris programs thru RedHat 7.2 with KDE… it rocks!!!
Knowing absolutely nothing, and I can easily prove that!, about LINUX, esp.,
I bought RedHat 7.2, and managed not only to make a dual boot (LILO) on a small
Gateway notebook, but also saw how easily RedHat accepted all the
hardware. Only problem was the internal winmodem, and with some
help from good folks like those here, I even have that going.
I did the incredible, and unthinkable for me…all thanks to how good
RedHat has gotten in handling an installation. Windows/Linux on same
little notebook. And not a model noted to be Linux-receptive.
Installation was rather swift, too.
Hardest thing for me was to stay out of its way.
Now, the really hard part:
Learning what I have.
I really haven’t much of a clue, but it looks mahvellous!
