RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and CentOS 6 Support

[InterServed]

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 should be released this November or next month. From my reading it will be a long term supported OS (7 years). I was wondering if cPanel plans on supporting it and/or if beta tests were already conducted into RHEL 6 RC which was release almost 1 month ago (6 RC / October 18, 2010; 23 days ago).

I do plan to migrate few systems to RHEL6 and i would also be very interested to migrate cPanel servers when cPanel will support it.

So , any plans or eta's for RHEL6 support by cPanel ?

I asked them today for ETA and they told me they don't have one. Actually, they thought it's still in Beta.

RHEL 6 has been released today:

No news from cPanel regarding RHEL 6 ? I'm already using it on production (non-cpanel servers) and i'd sure like to migrate cpanel servers to rhel6 as well.

Or might it be that rhel6 will only be supported when cPanel will "jump" on rpm style ?

Yes, RHEL 6 is now supported.

You may wish to update your online Docs, it still not list this update for 11.30:
System Requirements for Installing cPanel & WHM 11.30

CentOS versions 4.x, 5.x
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® versions 4.x, 5.x
FreeBSD®-RELEASE versions 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2
CloudLinux 5.x

I believe CentOS 6, RHEL 6 and CL 6 are to be supported.

CentOS 6 does not yet exist for production environments, nor does CloudLinux 6.

RHEL 6 is only supported on version 11.30 or later, which has not yet propagated to STABLE.

Both CentOS 6 and RHEL 6 are now supported, so I am closing and archiving this thread.
