Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Now Available

Red Hat has announced the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5). The Server editions have changed from the AS or ES choices to RHEL or RHEL AP (Advanced Platform). Basic subscriptions for RHEL cost $349 whereas RHEL AP starts at $1499. RHEL now includes virtualization for running up to 4 guest OSes, and RHEL AP can run unlimited guest OSes (well, as much as your hardware can manage).

The Desktop edition Basic Subscription starts at $80, but there are several other Desktop configurations that include Multi-OS virtualization and Workstation ranging up to $339.

The free Red Hat clone CentOS released CentOS 5 Beta earlier this week, and they're expected to post the final version shortly.

That's cool... I wonder if CF8 will include "official" support for RHEL5....

ColdFusion releases have supported current versions of Red Hat since CF 4.01, the first version to support Linux. CF8's support for Red Hat should be no surprise.

Incidentally, the famed "libc.so.6" error during installation of CF7 on recent distributions including RHEL5, Suse 10, Ubuntu's Edgy Elf, or FC6 is caused by an Install Anywhere (IA) bug. IA fixed this bug in IA8. Hint hint.

The bigger question is whether CF8 will include "official" support for the x86_64 version of RHEL5, including a pre-compiled mod_jrun22.so for 64-bit systems.

Where's the DVD version? I thought they were going to have a DVD in RH 5. (That's one thing that annoyed me about version 4)

Bill Mitchell has published an article for running CFMX 7 on Cent OS 5 (currently unsupported by Adobe):

I missed you guys at CeBIT in Hannover last week.
Any people out there affiliated with Red Hat that can explain what the motives were not to go there?
Just curious.
Love your OS, RHEL 5.2 won't shock the planet but 5 has disappointed very few since it came out.
