But then, they do seem to be having problems getting centos6 out the door. Granted, they were a bit overloaded when redhat released both rhel6 and rhel56 at pretty much the same time. At the time they made the conscious decision to focus their efforts on 56, to keep existing users up to date with security fixes, rather than on 60, which had no existing users. My impression is that these people are overworked and underpaid. Heck, they're not paid at all! With that said, I've got a brand-spanking-new box under my desk, waiting (im)patiently for centos60 to be released. From what I hear, it's been built and went to QA the day before yesterday. So I should be able to get it Any Day Now. Ali _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
