I'm not intimately familiar with the project just yet and none of this is me speaking with my official Red Hat on, but I'm pretty sure at least one of the guesses in that article is wrong. It surmises that RHGD will initially be based on the 2.6.18 RHEL5 kernel. Not likely. The article already mentions the reason why: KVM, which debuted in kernel 2.6.20, is a focal point of this product. KVM isn't in the RHEL5 kernel. Granted, we *could* backport it, but I'd lean toward RHGD starting out with a more Fedora-like kernel (i.e., 2.6.21 or later). Oh, and pretty sure the desktop is going to be Gnome -- but also quite possible it'll be a newer Gnome than RHEL5 (i.e., 2.18 or later). -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
