Peter Parker writes “Red Hat Inc., the Raleigh, N.C.-based software vendor known for its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system and the open source Fedora Project, will release the latest version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux — version 4.0 — at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in Boston on Feb. 14.
The announcement is the first major upgrade to the company’s signature product since October 2003, and is also the first instance where the company has made the operating system fully supported on the Linux 2.6 kernel.
While the release of a new version of an operating system is big news for any company, it is especially important for Red Hat, who has lost some ground to Waltham, Mass.-based Novell Inc., whose SuSE Linux 9 has been fully supported on the 2.6 kernel since August 2004.
