While RedHat has not released any official press releases on the subject, I have spoken with a reporter who claims to have received word from RedHat that the non enterprise versions will no longer receive point releases, and will instead concentrate on rolling out the latest tech. If this is true, I'm rather pissed off that RedHat. But since there's no official word, I'm taking this all with about 2lbs of salt grains. And I'm hoping that its all just rumors, though I'm also a bit upset to find there won't be an 8.1 or 8.2, since I just got finished approving 8.0 for a rollout. > On Mon, Mar 24, 2003 at 06:55:26PM -0500, Joe Klemmer wrote: > > > > It's definitely a marketing thing.
