Wow. Red Hat bumped the version number from the expected 8.1 to 9 and now you're saying people will stop suggesting Red Hat? A disgruntled user base that simply goes elsewhere? A little dramatic don't you think? Let's step back and put it all into perspective. Red Hat sent out an e-mail via chtah.com announcing Red Hat Linux 9, when it would be generally available, how to get it early, and suddenly everybody's so annoyed they're jumping distributions? Take a deep breath, pop a valium and slowly back away from the keyboard. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
