redhat 6 and 7

[circusmunkee]

what are the differences between redhat 6 and red hat 7?

i want to get a book on linux, but see a lot on redhat 6. i have redhat 7 installed. are there any major differences? can i get a red hat 6 book and do the same things with no difference in red hat 7?

thanks

rh7 has:
a beta version of glibc2.2
rpm4
xfree86 4
xinetd
ipchains tools built into linuxconf
kernel 2.2.16

rh6 has:
glibc 2.2 stable
rpm3.something
xfree86 3.36
inetd
kernel < 2.2.16

i have tried both, both seem pretty decent to me, i have had no problems with rh7, i did get the recommended updates.

I recentely installed Redhat 7 in place of TurboLinux (what ever version i had) i like RH7 ALOT. Th eonly problem I had with it is getting used to the xinetd. I found the old inetd to be very user friendly. However, I think that rh7 is the os i will stay with for now.
