For all of you who have been thinking about installing some distribution of Linux on your computer(s), but want a stable, secure, and easy to use GUI style OS that is also 100% free of charge, RHFC4 SELinux might be right for you. It's easy and fairly straight forward enough to allow a Microsoft Windows or Macintosh OS X user to get the hang of RHFC4 SELinux, but it is powerful enough for veteran Linux users to get under the hood and monkey around. The list of cutting edge software is more than enough to take care of the needs of a general purpose computer user: OpenOffice 2.0 BETA, GCC 4.0, 2.6.11-27 kernel, Mozilla FireFox 1.04 and ThunderBird 1.02, GIMP 2.x, Novell Evolution 2.2, etc.
It can be installed along side your current OS regardless of which processor architecture you may be using -- Intel Pentium or Celeron, IBM PowerPC, AMD Athlon 64bit or FX, and it even supports multi-core CPUs by using a symmetrical processor kernel.
Of course, I am downloading it now. I will report my experiences from the perspective of a 12+ year Windows user and a recent RHFC3 SELinux user who is upgrading to the latest version of the venerable OS. Knock on wood!
