As a rule, it has been March and September, sometimes plus or minus one to four weeks. > >As a rule of thumb - don't dot oh ? > > I certainly don't :) I usually don't, but this time I took the plunge since I was much more involved in testing betas than before. I haven't seen any major problems with it (other than problems that are not Red Hat specific, outlined in my previous two posts on the topic). Given the major version change in the compiler, the desktop work, and the inclusion of OpenOffice.org, I think they've done *much* better job than the previous three dot-oh releases. OpenOffice.org is a BIG deal, by the way: even with all my experience building rpms, I couldn't for the life of me, starting with the source tarball, manage to get an rpm built. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
