Looks like the 5.5 beta announcement beat you by 11 minutes! In any case, references in a bugzilla entry are interesting for me, but not so much to my supervisors (or the budgeting people!). If it is in beta, is there a mailing list and/or ISOs so I can start looking at what I'm going to have to to do migrate my systems? Googling for a beta list for rhel 6 using various patterns came up empty. For RHEL5 the sequence was: Public Beta 1 Sep 7, 2006 Public Beta 2 Nov 16, 2006 Release Announcement Jan 02, 2007 (announced date: Feb 28) Release Mar 15, 2007 (late 2 weeks) So there were 6 months between the public beta announcement and GA. Providing they do a similar schedule it may be October before it sees the light of day...
