I was shown today a mail supposedly announcing that Redhat 9.0 will be out
next week. I was very suspicious - that email had certain suspicious and
spammy characteristics, not to mention I couldn't believe Redhat will skip
8.1 and jump directly to 9.0.

That's what I thought, until I, just to be safe, sent my browser to
http://www.redhat.com. And lo and behold, what do I see there?

        "Today: Get Red Hat Linux 9 early"

Linking to the following page:

        http://www.redhat.com/mktg/rh9iso/

Which says Red Hat 9 will be available on March 31, 2003 for "Red Hat
Network" subscribers, and generally available in April 7, 2003.

Weird. Very weird. Can anybody confirm or deny, or venture guess why the
sudden version number jump?

It's a bit too early for an April's Fools hoax...
