I've been around since Mother's Day + 0.1, and by and large, each new
version is for the most part better than the previous. In other news,
as part of packing for a move coming up in a couple of weeks, I found
my Mother's Day + 0.1 CD, manual and the floppies I made for the
installation. Bonus points for anyone that doesn't work for RHAT that
can tell us how many floppies one had to make to do the install...

I too see the 6.1 -> 6.2 upgrade as an incremental step toward a RH 7.0,
which will most likely include the stuff you said (kernel 2.4, gcc-3.x,
apache 2.x), plus stuff like XFree86 4.0.something, bash2 as the *standard*
bash (can't we toss bash1 out the window yet, or at least do like Mandrake
has done, and reverse the roles of bash(1|2)?
My only (minor) gripe about RH 6.2 is that (at least on the sparc version)
the linuxconf that ships adds "extras" to the /etc/named.conf when adding
secondaries that wind up resulting in syntax errors in the config file.
I haven't verified that they bug exists on i386, but have bugzilla'd it
for sparc.
