Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a scalable data center platform accommodating enterprise workloads in physical, virtual, and cloud IT environments, is now at version 5.8.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 arrives just after a "surprise" announcement from Red Hat, who extended the RHEL 5 and 6 lifecycle to 10 years.

RHEL 5.8 is available for new hardware platforms and provides various enhancements such as support for Power Management Quality of Service (QoS), new iotop support which enables the monitoring of I/O resources, and PCI-e 3.0 enablement.

The new Linux distribution from the Red Hat developers also features virtualization with KVM scalability enhancements and improvements, new security management with OpenSCAP support, and Subscription Asset Manager (SAM) Beta available for all users.

Check out the official announcement here.

You can get a copy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 right now from Softpedia.
