Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 released

On March 5th 2015 Red Hat released the first update of their RHEL 7 operating system. 

The kernel level for 7.1 is kernel-3.10.0-229.el7. The number of technology previews for System z has been greatly reduced, successful testing allows now support for those features.

Here is my usual summary of links to more information:

• Complete RHEL 7 documentation
• RHEL 7.1 release notes
• RHEL 7.1 known issues
• RHEL 7.1 kernel CVE documentation
• RHEL 7 installation guide
• RHEL 7 installation guide for z
• RHEL 7 performance tuning guide
• IBM documentation on developerworks
• RHEL limits
• RHEL lifecycle - note that there is no EUS support for RHEL 7.0
• RHEL7 package list (now updated to include 7.1)

As this is a brand new release there are some hick ups aka bugs to be expected. If you are hitting one, please open a bug report with Red Hat and/or IBM.
