Advanced Server Version 3.0 has been released. It is planned for 32 bit Intel and 64 bit Intel platforms, including Itanium.

There are many hardware platforms upon which RH AS 2.1 will run. See prior paragraph.

Item a is marketing.

Dear Steven,

Is there any Previous release for " Redhat Advanced server 2.1 " (ex. Redhat AS 2.0).

I do not believe the prior versions were considered production quality.

2.1 is the first Enterprise release that I heard of but there may habe been betas.

Prior to AS, clusting and such was accomplished with pirranha(excuse the spelling).

a) RHAS 2.1 was introduced in Spring 2002,
in 3.2003 RH presented RH Enterprise Linux family of products with AS, ES and WS editions

c) RHEL3 supports "Intel X86, Intel Itanium, AMD AMD64 and IBM zSeries, iSeries, pSeries, and S/390."

Regarding a)-d) - I suggest you to readd docs/whitepapers/tables on RHEL portal:
