for French, German, Spanish, and Italian.

You can get your hands on Zoot in many different ways:

    1. ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-6.2
    2. Order one of our many boxed set editions from www.redhat.com
       (shipping April 10)
    3. Buy it at a retail outlet (available April 10)
    4. Download from one of our many mirror sites. The following mirrors
       are known to be complete:

       ftp://ftp.hjc.edu.sg/linux/redhat/redhat-6.2/
       ftp://ftp.ip.pt/pub/redhat/ftp.redhat.com/redhat-6.2/
       ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/RedHat/ftp/redhat/redhat-6.2/
       ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/redhat/redhat/redhat-6.2/

For help with this release of Red Hat Linux, subscribe to the Zoot mailing
list by sending a message with a subject of "subscribe" to
zoot-list-request@redhat.com, or buy a Red Hat Linux boxed set and take
advantage of our support department.

The Zoot development team wishes to thank all of the developers who
contributed to this release, our beta testers, and everyone who reported
a bug or made a feature request.

Here's a (partial) list of new features in Zoot:

    - The system can now be installed onto a loopback file on a FAT
      filesystem. This allows users to install Red Hat Linux onto an
      existing partition rather then having to repartition their system.

    - The upgrade process recognizes Linux RAID arrays.

    - Better rescue mode on CD and NFS, allowing improved disaster
      recovery.

    - Networking services have had their client and server components split
      into separate packages to improve sysadmin flexibility.

    - Pentium III support for improved performance

    - Workstation installs no longer install networking daemons

    - Many system daemons turned off by default

    - MesaGL now included

    - All man pages gzip'd

    - Added support for /etc/X11/xinitrc/xinitrd.d for X startup logic

    - Piranha clustering updates

        o web based GUI config
        o 2-node service failover support
        o generic service monitoring/loadblancing
        o tunneling and direct routing support for IPVS

    - Beowulf-style clustering added

        o PVM 3.4.3 (Parallel Virtual Machine)
        o LAM 6.3.1 (MPI library environment)
        o make-pvm (PVM aware version of GNU make)
        o (Please note that mpich-1.2.0 is now part of PowerTools for Red Hat
           Linux 6.2.)

    - Automatic support for up to 4 gigabytes of RAM

    - ISDN configuration utility added

    - Encryption now included! Now that the US more closely resembles
      a free country, all versions of Red Hat Linux include:

        o Kerberos authentication for mutt, pine, fetchmail,
          cvs, and imap. In addition, the following kerberos-aware
          versions of the following clients have been added:

        o Kerboros network clients included for rlogin, rsh, telnet, ftp
          in krb5-workstation package

        o GNOME-based Kerberos configuration tools added

        o GNU Privacy Guard (gpg) included

        o Netscape with 128-bit encryption included

    - More beauteous vim included -- /usr/bin/vim supports syntax color
      and langauge-based indention

    - anacron used for many system jobs

    - termcap, terminfo, and various terms have been modified to support
      the Debian Backspace Guidelines for Backspace and Delete, as well
      as to make Home and End work consistently

    - DocBook support included

    - Colorized ls by default (remove /etc/profile.d/colorls.* to disable)
