I wish it were so, but if you remember the final Beta of RHL 8, it was 
quite a shock to see that some of the bugs *fixed* in Betas were *present* 
in the released 8.0. I suspect that RH actually cuts Gold long before 
the final Beta (I would, if I was them - the Gold needs to be tested to 
death before it ships, or HP and IBM would probably skin RH ;-).

I do have a RHN subscription, so I guess I will just have to be patient. I
just hope the 845 chipset support is stable in 9 - here in India 845
motherboards are the most common config found, and much of my hard
advocacy over the year has been taking a beating here with people being
unable to use their new machines with RHL8.

The final Beta did run reliably, but as I mentioned above, it is entirely 
possible that Phoebe 3 was actually a bit ahead of the game.

Enabling wait-and-see mode ;-)
