Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 now Available
By CXOtoday Staff
Mumbai, May 21, 2008 1524 hrs IST

Red Hat has announced the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2. The new Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 features enhanced capabilities in 6 major areas, including virtualization, desktop, security, clustering, networking, and hardware support. Virtualization systems with up to 64 CPUs and 512 GB of memory, is now possible. Virtualization support for NUMA-based architectures is provided, as well as security, performance, manageability, and robustness improvements. CPU frequency scaling support for virtualized environments also allows for reduced power consumption. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Desktop includes enhanced support for laptop suspend/hibernate and resume, updated graphics drivers and a comprehensive update of desktop applications, including OpenOffice 2.3 and Firefox v3. Networking improvements include enhanced IPv6 and IPSec support. On the storage and clustering side, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 includes a better application control scripting environment for cluster applications, as well as support for iSCSI root volumes.. The new Linux operating system also provides enhanced capabilities for several hardware architectures, covering x86/x86-64, Itanium, IBM POWER and S/390, which provide improved performance, power usage, scalability, and manageability. For example, support for Intel's Dynamic Acceleration Technology permits power saving by quiescing idle CPU cores, and offers performance gains by potentially overclocking busy cores within safe thermal levels. Other hardware enhancements include extensive device driver updates, covering storage, network and graphics devices, and certification of IBM's new Cell Blade systems. While Red Hat consistently provides individual software fixes upon availability, these fixes are also consolidated into every Red Hat Enterprise Linux update. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 is available as of now and will be automatically delivered to customers with a Red Hat Network subscription.
