As already announced, 9.3 support ends on (IIRC) Apr 13, just a few days from now -- after that, there will be no more security updates for it, and the installation repository will be moved from the main tree to "discontinued". The latest word on the release of the 10.3 GM is somewhere around October this year. -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- HG Wells -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
