Packages and installable images (ISOs) are available via Red Hat Network (RHN) for active subscribers. In addition to RHN, this refresh is also available via FTP (details below). Current Beta users are strongly encouraged to do a fresh installation to help validate newer functionality that has been incorporated into the installer since the earlier Beta. Please note that this is still early access software and is not for use in production environments. The Beta packages and installation images are intended for testing purposes only. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is still in active development, and the contents of the media kit and the implemented features are subject to change. The release is not formally supported and it will not be possible to upgrade from the Beta to the final production version. Due to the incorporation of debugging features, this Beta cannot be used for performance benchmarking and platform certification.
