In case you missed the news Both Redhat and Suse released updates to their enterprise Linux offerings. RHEL 5.2 and Suse Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 2 are available.

RHEL 5.2 delivers support for 64 processors, 512GB of ram, NUMA, and reduced power consumption features. RHEL 5.2 is also certified for IBM cell blade systems.

Suse Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 is less impressive, providing IPv6 support and “better interoperability” with Microsoft Windows and Office using local NTFS.
