When I first downloaded Severn, rhl.redhat.com hadn't been stripped to the single boring page it is now. On that "old" RHL site, severn was noted as being a potential 9.1 release, which was initially odd to me, considering RH jumped from 8 to 9, even though I still don't understand the technical logic in that decision... there wasn't anything groundbreaking in 9 from 8, nor is there anything in Severn from 9 (aside from the cheesy, useless graphical boot).
Seeing that RH releases a new desktop upgrade every 6 months, maybe they just hope to look more "mature" by having version 20 out by fall of 2008. --Aaron On Sun, 2003-08-24 at 19:20, Jeremy Portzer wrote: > On Sun, 24 Aug 2003, Aaron Bockover wrote: > > > Returning the CDs shouldn't have solved anything, since the disks were > > ok (you managed to install RH 9, so they're obviously not corrupt).
