Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update 1 makes the software run better on servers with IBM's Power processor, Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron and Intel's Itanium, Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat said.

The software runs large databases better and improves support for IBM mainframes, Red Hat said. Customers can download the update over the Red Hat Network.
