Posted by Michael Larabel on September 02, 2009

We are at the Red Hat Summit in Chicago this week where version 5.4 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux was introduced this morning. Version 5.4 of RHEL brings many virtualization improvements, including the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) finally shipping with this enterprise-grade operating system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 also brings support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet, compatibility with newer Intel/AMD x86 hardware, and thousands of bug/security fixes.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 press release can be read in the Red Hat newsroom. Stay tuned for more Red Hat announcements this week.
