Whats' new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2

Just tried the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.2 beta, for the server part, main improvement is virtualization part, new CPU features from AMD are supported, so a new version of hypervisor introduced for faster full virtualization.



For client part which I use most, the great improvement is the upgrading of user programs, eg. pidgin, firefox, openoffice.org are all new version instead of old old "stable" version, which is a good news to normal users.
