With all the trouble I had with 8.0 I would have been surprised if they were able to maintain compatibility. Funny though they had the same problem with 7.0 and simple came out with 7.1. Since 8.0 was a gcc3 product I wonder what the major break is. > > Second is the way they are releasing.. first to paying RHN members then > > to the public.

Heck the only reason I downloaded 9.0 is because it took so long to get it otherwise. BTW do you know if they are going to offer a disk only powerpack? > > Blue skies...
