"Red Hat, the top seller of the Linux operating system, will begin offering
a higher-end and more specialized version of Linux later this year that
won't be as easy to find as the current all-purpose package. "

"Red Hat Advanced Server, in beta testing now, includes features designed
for more powerful servers, such as faster communications, load balancing to
share jobs efficiently among several servers, and "clustering," which can
let one computer take over for a crashed comrade, Cormier said. The company
this week will demonstrate "failover," in which one server handling
file-sharing duties takes over for another."
