Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3: Screenshots By Renai LeMay and Alex Serpo, ZDNet.com.au February 12, 2009 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/insight/software/soa/Red-Hat-Enterprise-Linux-5-3-Screenshots/0,139023769,339294769,00.htm
In this screenshot gallery we take you through the install process and basic desktop functionality of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, which was released to customers in late January. RHEL 5.3 includes support for Intel's latest chip architecture, Core i7, codenamed Nehalem. It also includes the Open Java Development Kit, an open-source implementation of Java SE 6 supported by Sun Microsystems. This inclusion is intended to support Red Hat's Java application server, JBoss.
