If you want to use the latest Gnome release (v.2.18) without upgrading a current install, try the latestversion (1.1) of Foresight Linux.
OR if you have Fedora Core 6 Desktop and would want to try out ForesightLinux 1.1 in a virtual machine, learn how to install VMWare Server and install as many guest OS as you can. You can use the same how-to above and install it on RedHat's latest Enterprise 5.0 Server.
For Novell Suse Linux users, you may want to wait for SWSoft's Virtuozzo's virtualization server to be bundled with the next release of Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 and then try ForesightLinux 1.1. :)
The Linux community has been busy, as always, churning out the latest and greatest features available from the open source community. The problem now is – which one would you choose? :)
Users of the standard Linux Enterprise 5.0 operating system will be limited to running four virtualized guests under the purchase subscription terms. Users of the Advanced Platform version, however, will be able to run an unlimited number of virtual guests. With Advanced Platform, customers are able to greatly reduce the cost and complexity of purchasing, integrating and managing separate virtualization, storage management and high availability software. The Advanced Platform allows customers to shift their investment away from costly infrastructure and back into their business, according to Red Hat officials.
