What part of this list isn't available to other "enterprise" distros?.
All of these improvements are in the kernel. You change the kernel and voila you've got the functionality.
Look guys, this is Linux - not some Windows vs Novell or Solaris vs AIX deal. Redhat's touting support for PPC but the work for PPC is being done by SuSE and Yellowdog. Anybody can take any peice of software in the Linux space and claim that they have these features but doesn't preclude competitors from gaining those features as well.
So if you're a SuSE/Mandrake/Ubuntu shop, fear not, you can get the peices for LVM2, SEL, Multicore CPU by just downloading from www.kernel.org and other related websites.
Redhat's trying to be like Microsoft, spread the word that ONLY they have these features in their Linux kernel - B-F-D!.
If Redhat wants to show their "PROPRIETARY" spots, perhaps they should go FreeBSD or NetBSD and then they'll be able to control their destiny.
