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?
