Performance Co-Pilot being bundled as part of the monitoring tools is pretty interesting; I see one of the devs has been blogging about it in the last month or so: http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/11/19/exploratory-perfo... and http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/11/26/performance-regre...

That is a very awesome tool, I am really wondering why I have not seen it before.

I saw at at linux.conf.au in 2010 and it looked good, but also as though it hadn't been worked on for a while. It looks like it's had a lot of neat stuff added in the last 3 years.

> systemd & OpenLMI With the next SLES also going systemd by default, Do you think this will force the hand of the few holdouts left? Going I can't see vendors wanting to support all of systemd, upstart, sysvinit.

Debian seems to feel that way and is choosing between upstart and systemd http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727708

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.

I'm surprised by their removal of all these wifi drivers.

Well, it is a server product so WiFi support isn't very relevant. The wire is still easier to secure so it might help for certification (speculating here).

> The Btrfs file system is now supported. Nice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Features

From the draft of the new storage administration guide:

Btrfs is still being actively evaluated for stability during the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 beta. The following target use cases will only be fully supported if it passes our tests: * The system partition only use case. This will allow btrfs only to get used for system installation, not only for a user's data. Currently it is unclear whether this will be restricted to this single disk or not. * Use btrfs for desktop and laptop users including their data partitions. * Use btrfs as the base file system under scale out "big data" file systems, such as gluster and Ceph.
