Anyone know which Python version will get bundled with RHEL 7?
It says in the link, though I suppose it is only a beta still.

#42Fedora 18 is already matured?) Or it is based on outdated 17th?
Supposed to be based off F19, with full systemd support (just like fedora).
The removed packages listing[1] is chock full of items being replaced by systemd.

#45Can anyone explain a bit more about what happened to Red Hat? I'm about behind the history of this Distribution. Last time I read about it I found out that is paid and I never considered it, because of that. I'm using Slackware for most of my servers, but I don't know what is the target market or what is more special in Red Hat Enterprise.

Enterprise. You kind of answered your own question.
> Slackware for most of my servers
Ya, you're not the target market. Also, you might be a masochist.

There are some misconceptions here. RHEL does not cost a cent. Support for RHEL, which includes security fixes through the package manager costs money. Security fixes and other patches and updates are still released as source by RHEL, as required by the GPL.
If you really wanted, you could run RHEL with no subscription and compile your own updates from the source that they release. In practice, this is next to impossible to maintain as an individual, but it is exactly what CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other related EL distributions do. They remove the RHEL trademarked logos, compile the code released by RHEL, and make it available through a generic yum repository that doesn't require a RHEL subscription.
So, in short, RHEL doesn't cost money, support and packaged patches do. CentOS gives you binary and version compatibility of RHEL without the cost.

#47Wow, XFS by default, is there any other distro that uses it by default? Makes me miss my old SGI machines...
Re: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta
#48I'm happy that MariaDB 5.5 is replacing MySQL but not so happy that Thunderbird is being removed in favor of Evolution.
XFS is the default filesystem.
"Multiple required authentications" in OpenSSH. Nifty.

Not sure actually, pretty bold of RH but they have put a ton of dev time behind it with gluster so I guess it only makes sense.
