10 things you need to know about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is more proof that operating systems aren't dead, they're becoming vessels for containerized applications. RHEL 7 performed well in our testing, but it's worth noting that this no longer just a simple OS; it's an increasingly abstracted component in the larger Red Hat ecosystem.
