In 2026 it's not too surprising when seeing old PCMCIA and ISA drivers being removed from the mainline Linux kernel source tree and old very low-speed network interfaces, with arguably the most surprising fast being how long they lasted in the mainline kernel. Meanwhile for the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel, one of the first 10Gb Ethernet drivers is already set for retirement from the mainline Linux kernel...

Jaap Jansma, manager Overheidsdatacenter Noord (ODC-Noord), en Marcel Timmer, Country Director Netherlands bij Red Hat, vertellen hoe een klein team in Groningen uitgroeide tot leverancier van een aantal cruciale bouwstenen voor het fundament onder de digitale overheid. Red Hat levert de fundamentele open source-software voor het platform, die ODC-Noord implementeert, beheert en exploiteert als een schaalbare soevereine clouddienst. Samen kijken ze naar wat er nodig is om die rol te blijven vervullen, van schaalbaarheid en digitale soevereiniteit tot veilige AI-ontwikkeling binnen de Rijksover

Red Hat Satellite 6.19 moves Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) management forward and continues to deliver the value of Red Hat Lightspeed to disconnected, air-gapped, and data-sovereign environments. This latest release shifts the focus from merely finding vulnerabilities to proactively managing risk, and refines the advisor experience so administrators can cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters.Vulnerability service for RHEL reaches general availabilityThe big news: Red Hat Lightspeed’s vulnerability service is now generally available (GA) for disconnected RHEL environments in

Change is the only constant. But for organizations operating in highly regulated sectors such as global finance, telecommunications, healthcare, and government, constant change can be the enemy of stability. These industries rely on "change-averse" workloads, where the infrastructure must remain rock-solid for decades to meet rigid regulatory, compliance and architectural requirements.We've designed a “RHEL forever” solution specifically for these critical environments: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Long-Life Add-On.This new offering marks a significant evolution in how your organization can ma

Learning how to use the vi text editor is essential for anyone working in a Linux environment. And while it can take some time to get used to how it works, mastering vi commands will help you edit files incredibly quickly without leaving your terminal or reaching for a mouse.In this post, we cover the essential vi commands you need to navigate, edit, and save your text files like a pro.What is vi editor?Created by Bill Joy in 1976, the vi editor is a fast, lightweight text editor that lets you manipulate text files directly in a terminal window. Most modern Linux systems use an updated version

The AI transition from experimental chatbots to agents faces a critical hurdle in highly-regulated sectors like biomedicine and public health. While these autonomous systems can navigate complex data to perform real-world tasks, there is a clear lack of a security-focused, standardized, and observable framework for AI agents to interact with sensitive data. Without enterprise-grade guardrails, the potential of agentic workflows remains confined to the lab sandbox.To address this challenge, Red Hat has launched a joint research effort with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) a
