Comparing RHEL5, being out for more than one year, with a distro coming out next month is an unfair comparison, but I guess you're realizing that. But I agree that it sometimes is frustrating that a RHEL version coming out (the .0 release) on date X has versions of packages of (X - 9 months) old (or older). I understand that QA cycles take a long time, but it is still a bit frustrating and I hope RH will try to improve this situation for future releases. -- -- Jos Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
