The article reads a bit like a press release.

While I did not see any factual inaccuracies in the article, I did see high expectations.

This is always a bad idea when it comes to software.

Anyone else beta-testing RHEL5? Since it is based largely on FC6, as the article points out, open FC6 bugs may affect RHEL5.

At [url=https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Fedora Core&version=fc6&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=MODIFIED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Fed...[/url] you can see the 2400 open public FC6 bugs.

At [url=https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Red Hat Enterprise Linux Public Beta&version=rhel5-beta1&version=rhel5-beta2&version=rhel5-rc1&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=MODIFIED&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Red...[/url] you can see the 427 open public bugs against RHEL5 B1, B2, and RC1.

Hint: Shut off selinux (selinux=0 on kernel command line) and remove yum's rhnplugin to get a more stable system.
