http://press.redhat.com/category/red-hat-enterprise-linux-6/ Today there's a Release Candidate for RHEL6. *WE* don't have it, though. It's only available to ISVs and a select group of testers. The rest of us get the same old dismissal: "generally available later this year." Hey Red Hat! If you keep making it so tough for us to plan for and migrate our infrastructures to RHEL6, then you shouldn't be surprised by the sound of crickets when you finally release it. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
