红帽今天在San Francisco发布了酝酿了两年之久的下一个重要版本Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5，这个版本让大伙期待了两年多，在SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10、Windows Vista、Unix等商业平台的重压下，终于重装上阵。最重要的特性当属XEN虚拟化，还包括内核升级，Red Hat Cluster Suite等等。
雄厚的技术实力不仅让Redhat继续领头Linux操作系统市场份额，同时也对开源自由软件技术和商业模式带来了更多的革新，Redhat的开源商业模式到底会不会一帆风顺呢？

Thank you. We've been listening.Over two years ago we began asking what you wanted in the next major release from Red Hat. Today we'd like to show you what we heard.
An open source architecture
You told us you were tired of companies selling you more software. You wanted value. The kind of value you got from Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the kind of value that made you name us the most valuable enterprise software vendor three years running. more
A world-class service experience
You told us you'd had enough of the typical technology vendor experience. So we're bringing some of the same open source principles we use to develop open source software to how we serve our customers. more
More applications you can trust
You told us you want to extend the benefits of open source beyond the infrastructure. So we set out to transform the traditional partner model. To make commercial open source applications easier to choose, buy, and support.
The result: Red Hat Exchange (RHX). more
