Red Hat's talking about an 18-month release cycle and support for five years on its ES line. RHAS 2.1 is based on RHL 7.2. I _am_ a little suprised it still has that old kernel, but if Oracle and DB2 are certified for that kernel, what do you Enterprise folks want? > I know companies would like to keep a "unified image" > so either Redhat or SuSE from PC to mainframe seems to > be a goal.

Red Hat has set its direction with the ES line, with that it will sink or fly. -- Cheers John.
