This is very exciting. I know until it gets all the government certs and rubber stamps I won't be able to use it at work but if it is out the ball can start rolling as they say. Here is the list of all the detail (tech notes): https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_E... You can see updated and deprecated packages as well as issues so far in beta.

Yeah, I have been doing some research for an upcoming screencast, and this type of idea is called Operating system-level virtualization [1], and there is a fairly good table with the various OS's and their take on OS-level virtualization. E.g. Solaris Containers, FreeBSD Jail, OpenVZ, HP-UX Containers, etc. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtuali...
Here's a background piece on containers that I wrote a few months back: http://bitmason.blogspot.com/2013/09/what-are-containers-any...

Does government certs mean backdoors?
This is so companies can sell compliant RHEL7-based solutions to military and other government organizations.

Has anyone found the root password for the kvm qcow2?
Wow, XFS by default, is there any other distro that uses it by default? Makes me miss my old SGI machines...
I was struck by that too, and came here to make the same comment. Why do you suppose they went with XFS? Ext4 seems like the defacto file system these days, but I know a lot of people seem to prefer XFS for one reason or another. It's a surprise to me that RHEL decided to default too it. Anybody care to shed some light?

Yes, I have CentOS 6 on a Thinkpad x200s with hard drive encryption enabled as my work machine. I find it stable and quite fast. I may leave that machine on CentOS 6 and put 7 on the 'play' laptop. My point was giving a choice of desktops is a new departure for Red Hat. Remember that they employ, or have employed, a number of the Gnome developers, and that I gather Red Hat has been a major sponsor of Gnome in the pas…
>> giving a choice of desktops is a new departure for Red Hat Is it? I've only used RHEL on servers but I've used CentOS on my desktops and laptops for a long time with many re-installs - I've always seen the choice to use KDE as part of the base install.
I've tended to associate CentOS with Gnome, and I installed from live CD with a reduced package set. I still think it is significant that Red Hat are publicising the choices.
