  • RHEL Server 7.3 - first impression

    Posted on

    Generally I never upgrade operating systems, because for reliability and stability reasons I always perform clean installations, but in this one case I made an exception. Yesterday I upgraded from RHEL Server 7.2 to the RHEL 7.3 final version and I have to say that this was an unexpected positive experience, everything went smoothly without any single issue. This was a bare metal installation upgrade, done on an older DELL machine. Today I performed a clean installation in a virtual machine (KVM | qemu | virt-manager). Again not a single problem - the whole installation process was convenient - it went straight through and completed successfully within a relative short period of time. Then I started the virtual machine from my fedora 24 workstation installed on a newer CLEVO notebook and that beast runs as if it was installed on bare metal. Everything is working as expected, all tasks are running fluently, no issues, no problems ... so, I only can recommend to switch to RHEL version 7.3 as soon as possible. There are a lot of new features and many improvements under the hood, so nobody will regret it. I want to thank every developer and all other contributors being involved in the creation of this great operating system !
