Red Hat Announces General Availability Of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Written by Michael Larabel in Red Hat on 10 June 2014 at 10:13 AM EDT. 25 Comments

I mentioned yesterday RHEL 7 would probably be announced tomorrow and it has indeed panned out. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is now available.

Red Hat announced this morning the unveiling of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for "redefining the Enterprise OS."

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 boasts virtualization improvements, uses XFS as the default file-system rather than EXT4, utilizes systemd, and offers a whole lot of modern enterprise software compared to the stable stack of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

More information on the general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 can be found via the Red Hat press release. I've been trying the development versions of RHEL7 and it looks and runs great and the RHEL7 benchmarks are promising.
