It's not so much that I'm after bleeding edge features. I maintain the kickstart trees for all the redhat versions, and I'm doing testing and development on plenty of other assorted 'stuff'. I could get myself a head start on getting things like these to work with 8.0 if I even just had the beta, which, if nothing else, could give me an early heads up to things like, say, the installkernel issue that came up in 7.2, changes in the passwd/shadow/groups files, changes to anaconda, etc. I'm developing with Python, php, and bits and pieces of other stuff as well. Seeing the versions of packages in a full install of the beta will allow me to prepare for the final version a little better. I have enough on my plate without answering 25 emails a day asking when 8.0 will be available, or when our dept. servers will move to it, and why does it take so long, etc (they don't really get kickstart - and ours is fairly complex). So my need is really just to see what's coming up so I can plan and begin my various processes - not so I can say 'I'm hardcore'.

I believe I saw support for the Sandisk is the 2.4.17 kernel. Don't know how experimental it is or not, but you might want to check it out. If you need help with it I'm sure people on this list could help you. -Brandon On Fri, 2002-02-22 at 05:58, Timothy Lee Young wrote: > Actually I was just thinking that I probably don't really need to upgrade > to the next version either; usually I do, but my system is more than > stable and suiting my needs. > > The only thing that seems appealing for a distribution to have is better > USB support so that I can have an easier time getting my scanner & smart > media reader to work.

Re: Any ETA on Redhat 8? *tracker*
IMHO, in terms of real-world computing, it's far more important to be stable, reliable, and well-tasked than to be on the edge for the edge's sake. but at the same time I can understand the slobbering for the next big number. here's hoping that the "Slashdot First Post" attitude never seeps into enterprise level system administrators. nice plug for the good folks in NC, there.

Re: Any ETA on Redhat 8? *tracker*
Actually I was just thinking that I probably don't really need to upgrade to the next version either; usually I do, but my system is more than stable and suiting my needs. The only thing that seems appealing for a distribution to have is better USB support so that I can have an easier time getting my scanner & smart media reader to work. Some of the new distributions have a utility for helping with scanner setup, but I know if I played around with things enough, I could get my Epson 1200u to work with my Red Hat 7.2. The smart media reader from SanDisk, I dunno about that one though. Now that would be a great thing for Linux to have, true USB plug & play.

Re: Any ETA on Redhat 8?
I'd think that it would be more appropriate to call the next release 7.3, instead of 8.0, because there is no major change in the kernel or other components. Red Hat should save the 8.0 release for like the 2.6 kernel or something; there's nothing wrong with versions 7.3, 7.4, or even 7.9, until then.
