Post by: slave on 25 March 2003, 06:39: Dear Colleague:

You may know that Red Hat Network is the best way to keep your
systems running the latest errata and always up to date. What you
might not know is that Red Hat Network passed the one million users
mark earlier this year. We've listened to valuable feedback and have
added two items of interest to keep those users happy - early release
of Red Hat Linux 9 ISOs and improved technical support.

Beginning March 31, 2003, paid subscribers to Red Hat Network will
have access to Red Hat Linux 9 ISOs - a full week before retail store
and Red Hat FTP availability. Also, Red Hat Network subscribers will
receive dedicated Red Hat Network Technical Support.

Learn more about the benefits of being a Red Hat Network Subscriber:

Thanks again for using Red Hat Linux. We appreciate all feedback
from our users and hope you enjoy Red Hat Linux 9.

Sincerely,

Red Hat

Post by: Master of Reality on 27 March 2003, 04:26: they claim you will get it a week before its official release.... who knows when the official release will be (it could be in august or later for all we know). My suspicions are that they will jump to version 9 when they include the 2.6.* kernel.

Post by: slave on 27 March 2003, 06:58: I don't really care about RH9 anymore because I installed mandrake 9.1 and I think it's good enough to use as my main operating system. You guys should try it out!

As I checked, the latest unstable kernel is 2.5.66-bk2 and the latest stable kernel is 2.4.20.
