Only RedHat has permanent dates in the year (2, to be more detailed). But the last time it was not a major (but 7.2. About 6 months later, 7.3 was released). And contrary to the response of Mark Veltzer, Mandrake is not similar to RedHat anymore. The differences become huge from version to version. In any case, it can't be a reason for both companies to release versions together; When Mandrake was "RH+", they released their version 2-3 months after RH (because they had to add their stuff). Moreover, in the previous time, Mandrake was released 2 months before RedHat, and was very different. > and if you concider gcc 3.2 which made most distribution release a new > release based on it... > I wonder if debian would move to gcc 3.2 in the next 10 years. > > > The versions will be called 8.0 (RedHat's) and 9.0 (Mandrake's). > MDK 9.0 would go out in 2-3 pclinuxonline says it being uploaded to > mirrors as I write. > > redhat 8.0 rumered to go out in 5 days, I find it unlikly. > but who knows.. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
