This arrived in my inbox today, for the Red Hat fans. As with SLES10, there is only a 64-bit version for the mainframe.

Looks like RedHat has posted RHEL5 beta1 (or maybe a pre-beta1?) to their ftp site: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/RHEL5-Beta1 use the mirrors: http://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/beta/RHEL5-Beta1 ftp://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/beta/RHEL5-Beta1/ .... (many redhat mirrors should have it now) My early observations (I downloaded it last night): -DVD ISOs! yeah! -No WS, ES, AS. There's only client and server directories. Not sure if this is just during beta testing or if RedHat is effectively dropping the ES release (if I remember right, ES only existed for i386 and ppc anyway, none of the 64-bit archs had it) -kernel-2.6.17-1.2519.4.21.el5, httpd-2.2.3-4, php-5.1.4-8.1, gnome-desktop-2.15.4, kdebase-3.5.4-0.pre1.fc6, xen-3.0.2-23, firefox-1.5.0.5-8 are the versions included. That doesn't mean it won't change by General Release though... -Anaconda asks for an install key during installation (!!!???). Not sure if this is a beta thing or will be in General Release also. Congrats the RHEL developers, looking forward to final release.
