Did you really expect anything different from a .0 release? Red Hat has a very bad track record with .0 releases, 5.0, 6.0, and now 7.0 were all bad bad bad...If they follow thier usuall trend the next point release should be just fine. Of course I don't run Red Hat so none of this concerns me :D -- James Atkinson ----------------------------------------------------------------- James Atkinson 100world Technical Developer 512-1529 West 6th Avenue phone: +1-604-637-8122 Vancouver, BC, V6J 1R1 fax: +1-604-742-1770 Canada email: james.atkinson@100world.com http://www.100world.com +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | This message may contain confidential and/or privileged | | information.
