Red Hat 9.0 3

Anyone know why they are releasing 9.0 less than 6 months after 8.0? They haven't even released any 8.x minor releases. I can't find a "what's new" page or anything for RH9.

This isn't even a patch release 8.x but a full level release. There must be something fundamentally wrong with 8.0 that warranted the jump.

I've seen a lot of problems with RH80 in the testing that I've done on it. Nothing seems to work the way it should. I'm sticking with RH7x or SuSE8x, unless RH gets it act together on this 9 release.

I think it's a perfecly reasonable to call it version 9 because it's not binary compatible with 8. There'd be tons of confusion if you they called it 8.1.

I agree with sentiments about version 8 being a bit dodgy. I'm sticking with 7.3 - really nice and stable, I think it's the best version by a mile! Version 9? I'm a bit sceptical I must admit.

Not binary compatible?!? What's that supposed to mean??
You basically saying that it's not Linux anymore!!

FYI - The Red Hat Network is so busy its almost impossible to download the ISOs right now (I've been trying for 2 days and it just times out). I found another source where you can get fast access to the ISO images...

Me too i have problem with redhat 89.0 in production environnement (specially the rpm command, often the rpm command block and no shell prompt is given !!!), and the Xenvironnement but with 7.3 all is good

I have downloaded the 7 CDs of debain i have heard that it's more stable than redhat, is it right ??

I got this off of Slashdot a couple of days ago and it gives the best run down of the RH9 release out there.
Check it out!

They did relase an 8.1 that fixed a lot of video issues.

8.1 was a beta which later become 9.0.
