Ne znam da li ste čuli vest, ali iz redova RH-a planiraju da krajem ove godine izbace prvu ozbiljnu verziju RH za Desktop korisnike, upravo pod imenom RedHat! koja će naravno biti free of charge, što do sada svi znamo nije bio slučaj.
Šta vi mislite o ovom podvigu?
Is Red Hat making a comeback to the desktop? Early in 2008 they released a statement saying that "we have no plans to create a traditional desktop product for the consumer market in the foreseeable future." However later in the year they acquired Qumranet, which gave them control of the KVM virtualisation technology. Last week they announced an interoperability deal with Microsoft, while this week they have confirmed that KVM will form the base of their virtualisation strategy. Part of the new line-up will include a virtualisation manager for desktops, explained as "a new management system for virtual desktops that will deliver industry-leading VDI cost-performance for both Linux and Windows desktops, based on Qumranet's SolidICE and using SPICE remote rendering technology." While existing Red Hat Enterprise products can be used as a desktop, most of the new features are found only in Fedora, the community distribution which they sponsor and which has recently hit one million users. If Red Hat is moving back into the desktop arena, then we should see many more of these features make it into the official products. Interestingly, Fedora already has over 50 new features approved for the upcoming 11 release, which in some cases is double the number from previous versions.
