Perhaps we should wait until 1.0 Final
These are the previously posted software releases on slashdot/apache
Apache 1.3.19 Released
Apache 1.3.17 released
Apache 2.0a9 Released
Tomcat 3.2 Final Release
Apache 2.0 Alpha 8 Released
I guess its only the Apache server that gets Alpha/Beta releases posted.
