Features new to this version include the Red Hat-tested 2.4 kernel, stateful firewalling capabilities using iptables, XFree86 4.0.3 for improved 3-D graphics, expanded USB support for storage, hot-pluggable devices, and the ability to easily set up and administer DNS, Apache, and printing services.

For developers, complete Web, mail, ftp, file, and print servers are included, along with multiple programming languages: C, C++, FORTRAN, Perl, Python, Tcl, and GCJ. There is an updated development toolchain (gcc 2.96-RH, gdb 5.0, glibc 2.2.2), and the popular Web application development tools PHP and mod_perl. This package comes with a 30-day subscription for one system to Red Hat Network Software Manager, which will give you access to Errata Alerts, RPM updates, and a free Red-Hat hat when you configure your system. You will also receive 30 days of Web-based installation support.
