What?

Windows XP was published in October 2001. The latest Service Pack (SP3) was published in April 2008.

RHEL 6.2 was released in December 2011. So even the latest XP release is 3.5 years older than RHEL 6.2 (which does recognize USB drives quite fine).

Right, I just didn't expect anyone would compare to that since RH has been not really usable for quite some time (unlike Windows XP). (Usable in the sense of getting any recent application versions to install, not to mention getting security patches). Is there really someone actually running RH 6 from the year 2000?

(I was actually thinking that if the comment were referring to RH prior to RHEL, we were talking of a version that was still using a.out binary format, but that was not so, I was off by some three years, it came in RH3).

There were many versions of Red Hat before the RHEL run started. I believe that's what GP was talking about.

Red Hat Linux 6.2 ("Zoot"), not Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2.
