RHEL 4 launch in Singapore

gotten myself some time off to leave office earlier to attend a RHEL 4 launch today, and I must remember to tell myself "never to attend one of such product launch talk again".
I wont mind going to MacWorld Expo

Good lesson learned.

not that I have anything against RH. No! I love RH. In fact, I started my unix/linux venture with Rh5.1. It is redhat that made me be able to learn and have real hands-on on Linux(and later unix).

but such product launch ... is really too marketing .. a total waste of time for any unix SA to attend.
(now .. it may be a good excuse to attend one if it covers the whole day during office hours).
One thing cool may be the free beers after the talks, but too bad the beer pump is way too slow, and and the beer queue is way too long. I did a slapslick joke on the beer pump being slow (it slow because it's not running on an 2.6 kernel).. and invited unfriendly stares .... gosh .. I think there are many w|nd0ws people around, or no one understands what I am talking about!

But one thing I learned is the SELinux feature is gonnna be available on RHEL 4. That should be cool! Great stuffs if the RHEL installed server to be used in an amberzone server.
