Re: RHEL 6 Officially Released

Is it an x86_64 install? I had a problem with Xen last year under 5.x whereby I had to increase the VM's memory footprint to 512 MB

What does 6 bring with it?  Anything new in virtualization and

I don't see here what version of BIND is included.  Anyone know?


      bind-9.7.0-5.P2

To determine other versions the src.rpm's are located at

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6/en/source/SRPMS/

And what are the minimum system requirements?  Will we still be able to
install this on a 256Mb system for example?

Great!  Now I know what to look for I can put the right search string
into google to get this page!

Well that has the information I was looking for except....

It says there that RHEL 5's minimum memory is 512Mb.  Last week I
installed Centos 5.5 on a test system with 256Mb with a 1Gb of cache:

# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        254124     235864      18260          0       5952      97668
-/+ buffers/cache:     132244     121880
Swap:      1052248     151876     900372

So I hope that Centos 6 will continue to be installable on a 256Mb
system.  It does not pay to replace the memory on these test systems.  I
can pick up 1Gb used SFF systems for about the same price as 512Mb
memory for these old boxes.


I just tried to install RH EL 6 on a virtual mashine with 256 MB. Just
after the installer boots it says 'You do not have enough RAM to install
....'
