The beta releases of Firefox and Thunderbird are released at a much slower rate than point releases of the stable revisions. This means that a security issue in the beta may go unpatched for a much longer period of time. I agree with Bernie that if we're going to move ahead with the pre-release versions, we need to at least be grabbing builds from the source. -- Stephen Gallagher RHCE 804006346421761 Looking to carve out IT costs? www.redhat.com/carveoutcosts/
