Well, six months into 8.0 they had to essentially re-write the entire file system, plus there have been troubles with the ext3 journaling system, and now the problems re-emerged with SSL about a month ago. At this rate if they take all the patches I've downloaded faithfully and applied, we'd almost have a new operating system. I've got a few servers running RedHat, unfortunately. <evil leer> > > Now back on topic, we are saying Mandrake 9.1 will be released when? 8-) > > rc3 seems to be hitting the mirrors now... strangely enough and totally > unexpected.

It took me over a week to get the [EMAIL PROTECTED] ATI All-in-Wonder Pro TV card working, and I *like* having TV on my desktop now. The scanner, the Zip Disk and the Jazz Drive and both EIDE drives all work flawlessly, even. So let us hope they don't break what isn't broken. 8-) Dave - -- Dave Laird ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Used Kharma Lot / The Phoenix Project Web Page: http://www.kharma.net updated 03/05/2003 Usenet News server: news.kharma.net Musicians Calendar and Database access: http://www.kharma.net/calendar.html An automatic & random thought For the Minute: Q: Why should you always serve a Southern Carolina football man soup in a plate?
