General
Red Hat Linux 6 has been released[1]. Richard W.M. Jones recommended[2] taking a look at The Register's[3] review.
Meanwhile, Mark J Cox took a look[4] at the vulnerabilities and security updates in RHEL 5.5, as compared to 5.4 and earlier.
Chris Tyler and students at Seneca have helped[5] get ARM rolling as a secondary architecture on Fedora. Meanwhile, Adam John Miller wants[6] that Intel chips for mobile devices continue to improve.
Dan Williams shared[7] some updates to ModemManager, a tool that can manage mobile (3G, etc...) connections under Linux.
Richard W.M. Jones examined[8] the concept of verifying a VM's integrity from the host (for example, using rpm -V). Richard also asked[9] "Should you ever have to reinstall VMs?"
And Richard released[10] Tech Talk PSE 1.0.
Karsten Wade described[11] how to use "The Open Source Way: Creating and nurturing communities of contributors", a community-written textbook on Open Source and communities.
Steven Moix posted[12] a summary of what it has been like to use KDE 4 on Fedora for the past six months.
