RHEL 6.7 just released.

Share this link

Even though the RHEL 6 distribution is not used for the main exams anymore (since February 28, 2015 for the RHCSA & RHCE exams, since July 22, 2015 for the LFCS & LFCE exams, except if you bought the exam vouchers before the respective dates), it remains critical for many companies.

The RHEL 6.7 release brings the following main benefits:

  • it makes hardening a server easier through some SCAP security guide improvements and the new scap-workbench package,
  • it can use Red Hat Access Insights through a Red Hat hosted service to proactively identify and resolve technical issues,
  • it gets the new clufter package that contains a tool for transforming and analyzing cluster configuration formats, useful when preparing cluster migration,
  • it adds the new lshw package that includes a utility providing detailed information on the hardware configuration of a machine,
  • finally, it provides 242 packages freshly updated.

As usual, you will find all the details in the RHEL 6.7 Releases Notes & RHEL 6.7 Technical Notes.

    I thought that lshw was an additional package, as I use it already on 5.6 release !

      It’s interesting. The lshw package is mentioned as new in the RHEL 6.7 Technical Notes.
      There is certainly an explanation but I don’t know it! 😉
