Red Hat-Ubuntu Pairing Would Have Potential

"I'm starting to see some big potential for symbiosis between two Linux and open source leaders: Red Hat and Ubuntu. Red Hat's departure from the consumer desktop Linux market comes at the same time Ubuntu continues rolling in the same market with the release of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron this week. The latest Ubuntu also comes in a server version that continues distributor Canonical's aspirations for enterprise servers. While it has been a struggle to sign OEMs for pre-installation, Canonical appears to be on the right track with regard to certification from the biggies. Still, Ubuntu's server challenge is a big one, and it comes in a Linux market where Red Hat rules the roost.

Virtualization and Linux: Red Hat unveils new vision (IDG.no)

Three strategic virtualization initiatives were the stars of the show as Linux powerhouse Red Hat opened its Red Hat Summit Wednesday in Boston. What do the Red Hat moves mean to you? More options in open source virtualization tools and a new open source effort around virtualization security, for starters. The Red Hat move that will catch the eye of most users is the Embedded Linux Hypervisor, oVirt. This is a lightweight, embeddable hypervisor that currently lets you run Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows VMs (virtual machines) on Linux.

Red Hat Takes Hypervisor Control Back From Citrix

Red Hat announced two important moves this week; open sourcing of Red Hat Network Satellite, and its own virtualization hypervisor oVirt. Open sourcing RHN Satellite is fundamentally about showing the industry Red Hat is still the keeper of the open source flame but the real strategic move is the development of oVirt. OVirt is built upon Kernel Virtual Mode, or KVM, which is virtualization built right into the Linux operating system, and has been maturing over the past two years. Until now Red Hat's virtualization strategy has been built around open source Xen, much like other players such as Oracle and Sun.

Red Hat Drops Consumer Desktop Linux

Red Hat will no longer offer a Linux desktop for consumers as the market shifts toward service models. Red Hat will focus on its core strength in enterprises, and it will deliver Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop for its commercial customers. Building a business around the consumer Linux desktop is tough in a changing market, Red Hat said.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 3.0 Review

IconWhen I volunteered to do this review I quickly realized that I was asked to review 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server' and not just 'Red Hat Linux'. Then panic set in. How different was this going to be from regular old Red Hat that I've used and relied on for years? Is this going to be a whole new Red Hat with a whole bunch of advanced features that I wouldn't be able to talk about either because I missed them or because I'm not qualified?

Mini-Report on Red Hat Phoebe 8.0.94 (8.1-Beta 3)

IconRed Hat is the undisputed commercial leader when it comes to Linux distros. A few years ago more distros were sharing the Linux market/userbase, but these days Red Hat has overcome its competitors in impressions, sales and popularity. Popularity doesn't always mean quality though (look at Windows9x for example), so after our world's first review of Red Hat 8.0 a few months ago, I wanted to check out the new product, Red Hat 8.1, destined to be released sometime in the next one or two months. I downloaded and installed the third beta of 8.1, codenamed Phoebe, and gave it a whirl. We will be featuring a full review when the final version becomes available, but here is a preliminary report on the current status, accompanied by three screenshots.

Ron Hovsepian, CEO of Novell, took an unwarranted swipe at Red Hat for failing to show up to the Linux desktop market, but by Red Hat's own admission, it's not really interested in the traditional desktop market. Kernel release: 2.4.36.5, Jun 01

Red Hat looks out for OSS community with patent settlement

Red Hat announced today that it has settled a patent dispute with Firestar and DataTern over two patents, including one that covers object-relational database mapping—a technique that is used in Hibernate, a component of the JBoss middleware stack. Red Hat says that the terms of the settlement will offer broad protection for upstream developers, all derivatives, and downstream distributors, as well as Red Hat's customers.

Red Hat and the Linux Desktop 2008

"Red Hat has a desktop Linux plan. It's just not the same desktop Linux plans that everyone else has. As Jim Whitehurst told me in an informal gathering of Red Hat executives and press, 'There are companies that sell hundreds of products for millions of dollars and there are companies that sell millions of products for hundreds of dollars. Guess which kind of company Red Hat is?'

Red Hat cancels one-click world domination effort

We called Red Hat on Monday to address speculation that its RHX (Red Hat Exchange) program was about to go tits-up. Red Hat responded to the concerns today with a blog post.

Red Hat's MRG makes advances in real-time computing

On Thursday, Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat Inc. released its Red Hat Enterprise MRG platform, three separate subscriptions that collectively add advanced messaging, real-time computing and grid computing to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, or RHEL 5. The first two components are available immediately for production environments, but grid computing was released as a technology "preview" and will be available as a fully supported product in a few months.

Red Hat 8 For Joe & Jane User?

IconWell, here on OSNews, there has been plenty of discussion about Red Hat 8, what it is, what it isn't, the Bluecurve look and many other features and issues. I ordered Red Hat 8 Personal Edition and decided to see how close Red Hat 8 may be to a distribution that Joe and Jane User could install and use.

Red Hat Puts Patent Issue to Rest

Like most settlements, this one ends the specific lawsuit between the parties, but it does much more than that. It assures that upstream developers are protected against patent suits by DataTern and Amphion with respect to projects incorporated into Red Hat products. In addition, our distributors, customers, and anyone else who uses Red Hat products are protected with respect to Red Hat products. This broad coverage is a significant benefit to the open source community.

A Red Hat Packed With Dynamite

IconAn article at The Motley Fool lays out good financial news from Red Hat: "In its first quarter of fiscal 2009, Red Hat produced $0.08 of GAAP earnings per share on revenue of $156.6 million. That's a 32% sales increase over last year, while profits held steady. But the numbers don't tell the whole story here. The open-source software veteran released major updates to four of its key products and re-signed every expired contract with its 25 largest subscribers -- for 50% more than the worth of the old deals. It's always cool to see the big boys upgrading their pacts, don't you think? Red Hat continues to invest in its global sales and support infrastructure, funding the growth from organic cash flows.

Q&A: Red Hat CEO on Patents, Integrated Virtualization

A half-year after becoming president and CEO of Linux vendor Red Hat, Jim Whitehurst was in Boston this week for the annual Red Hat Summit.
