I'm just seeing for the first time that the Severn release I downloaded
when "Red Hat" released it as "9.0.93beta" is actually a Fedora code
release. It will be in testing until the end of the month, and the next
release is scheduled for Nov 03. Sorry for the noise. I had no idea RH
had already basically bailed on the retail product to this complete
extent. I didn't know that products under their "beta" tree on the ftp
site were not actually related to the "linux" tree anymore, but to the
"rawhide" tree. Wonder if they'll rename rawhide to fedora on that
server anytime soon?

Subject: new release?
I asked a few months ago when Red Hat would present their next release,
and whether it would be 9.1 or 10, requesting that sombody @redhat.com
answer. A bunch of helpful people suggested that they release in April
and October and that it would probably be 9.1. I'm grateful, but none
of our regular @redhat.com posters responded at all. October's almost
gone, EL 3 is out, Fedora's getting press, and I'm aiming at December
for a network-wide upgrade. We're running 7.3, which is losing all its
errata support at year's end, and I really need to know whether my 9.x
work is wasted time. I'd appreciate something from someone @redhat.com,
anything as general as "we're releasing 9.1 in a couple weeks" or "we're
releasing 10 next year". Thanks in advance. This is really important
to a legion of RHL users who are losing their errata support in two months.
