Red Hat just added Docker to RHEL 6.5, so there's your example of them adding something mid-lifetime.
"Added" via EPEL and supported by redhat officially isn't the same thing.

Is this an 'open' beta or do you need a subscriber key? Just curious, I usually wait for CentOS for a desktop installation on a laptop
You should be able to flip into CentOS 7 fairly easily when they release, though.

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTU0MDk Suggests Fedora 19 package set and 3.10 kernel.
If I'm not mistaken nodejs was in that package set, good step forward for enterprise adoption if it's in RHEL7!

>> 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.
Yeah, coming from the RH/Fedora world, it seemed weird when other distros starting spinning specialized versions for a different window manager on the desktop, such as kubuntu. I guess that's because they wanted to have more control over the "experience". RHEL is about getting shit done when you know what you are doing, not holding your hand and making you feel comfortable, so I guess with those different expectation…

Their betas are open, but you may not receive much in the way of updates (including security updates) if my experience with the RHEL 6 beta was anything to go by. You should be able to flip into CentOS 7 fairly easily when they release, though.

Fedora ships a whole bunch of different spins, including desktop flavors. http://spins.fedoraproject.org/

Hopefully we will see some type of GUI to create containers and manage cgroups. The GUI for libvirt is called virt-manager: http://virt-manager.org/
It can be even more seamless and convenient than that with Systemd. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemdLightweightCo... I’m not sure what Systemd version they’ll end up shipping though. The best part about Systemd is that the default framework for launching and monitoring services is essentially LXC without the padding (extra PID0 etc). This means every service can benefit and there’s no need for the unne…

#89Has anyone found the root password for the kvm qcow2?
I had to boot from an .iso and mount up the filesystem to reset it. Also disabled selinux on reboot. If you find it out, please post, I'm curious myself.

node.js is already in the Software Collections repo for RHEL 6, so you can get a Red Hat supported, maintained node.js already.
