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'.

Actually (for me) it is never something new it is always having something newer... always having the latest and newest product that can keep a person on edge for the next new release.. now with 7.2 it turned out to be a great os, but knowing rdht they will come up with something better.. and this makes waiting no fun.. make since?? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Matthew Boeckman Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 5:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Any ETA on Redhat 8? *tracker* why does this matter? 7.2 is just out, is (for me) super with the inclusion of ext3... what super crazy bleeding edge features are you guys looking for that necessitate the obsession with a beta or release date for the next version?

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.

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. 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.
