Red Hat 5.4 Released, CentOS 5.4 Soon

Red Hat has announced the release of the latest version of Enterprise Linux. This means CentOS 5.4 is 2-4 weeks away.

One big feature many would like to see is XFS support. Currently, the XFS kernel module is available as a technology preview only in Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86_64, and there are no xfs utilities included. This means no 32-bit support and no mkfs.xfs for actually formatting. It looks like CentOS already includes XFS and related utilities in the CentOS Plus repo.

See the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Release Notes to get primed.

You can also check out the new CentOS artwork, which ditches the flowers and goes back to cubes.
