There are many key components of Linux that are reaching major
milestones these days (Samba 3.0, kernel 2.6, OpenOffice 1.1, AbiWord
2.0.0, GNOME 2.4, etc.).

There are also leading distros (RedHat, Mandrake, etc.) which are
releasing new versions these days.

The big question is what of the new packages are included in the new
distros.

If the new RH/Mdk are based on the previous versions of the packages
that I mentioned, then they can be considered "obsolete" even before
being released.

I know that some of us prefer "old-and-stable" over the "latest-and-
greatest", and that it's easy to upgrade specific packages or even re-
build them on an old distro (I do it on a daily basis); But the
companies that were mentioned (RH/Mdk/etc.) add their own integration
which some of us don't want to break.

Does anybody have more details about the new releases of the distros?

Thanks,
