RHL9 includes Mozilla 1.2.1. The next released version, Sorry, I didn't translate him right. What he actually said is "older than those shipped with Mdk 9.1". So, with respect to Galeon and Mozilla, one should check when Mdk 9.1 came out, compare that with RH9, and then figure out, assuming it's possible, if the result means that one distro is faster or less careful than the other when it comes to QA and packaging. We could just as well drop discussion on those two packages. I reported them for completeness, but was more interested in what he said about PHP/PostGresql/apache, as those are server side things a bit more critical, in general.
