LWN notes the release of White Box Enterprise Linux RC2. Please be kind and download it using BitTorrent. I was unable to install WBEL on older/lower end hardware (K6II laptop and my Via platform), but I will see if I can get a WBEL platform running with RC2.
Yum and up2date are now functional. Many other small fixes have made their way in to RC2.
In other Red Hat news, LWN also notes an announcement by Red Hat saying that they will make RHEL available to students and faculty for as little as $25 a year for RHEL Workstation.
