Red Hat Red Hat announced Nov. 7 the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, with integrated virtualization. In claims that Red Hat representatives were well aware are extremely broad reaching, they said the new release will provides the most compelling platform for customers and software developers ever, with its industry-leading virtualization capabilities complementing Red Hat's newly announced Linux Automation strategy. It offers the industry's broadest deployment ecosystem, covering stand-alone systems, virtualized systems, appliances and Web-scale 'cloud' computing environments.

Good for Linux

Linux is an excellent server OS and this just makes it better. The problem is that it still isn't something fresh and revolutionary for UNIX switchers - it's still just a better UNIX. Linux needs some revolutionary, original and useful features to set it apart from the competition. Look at Mac OS X Server. It is UNIX based but adds some great apple features and makes it super easy to give it an edge in it's intended market (small-medium businesses). So essentially, great for linux but it still need some super features so it can stand out and be the best.
