There are a couple things I don't understand why they are missing
from Roswell since they are free and greatly increase Linux
capabilities:
-Sgi's XFS: I don't know which is the fastest journalled filesystem
but XFS has ACLs and this allows for finer grained and thus better
security. It also makes far simpler to set up Samba since you
will no longer have to shoehorn NT's ACLs into the coarse 197O
Unix permission scheme. As an added benefit the Linux box will no
longer look like a poor man's substitute for NT in the access rights
area.
-SapDB: I know RH already ships MySQL and PostGreSQL but AFAIK SapDB
(ex Adabas) plays in another league and has important features for
serious use like before and after journal, backup of active databases,
replication, complete SQL and a powerful procedural language
-IBM's JRE: I still have to see an existing Java application working
with Kaffe (perhaps it is my fault) and IBM's JRE is distributable
AFAIK so why not include it in 7.2
