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
