CentOS docs - Nov 2008 - Test-driving RHEL Betas

Good Evening (Dag and Karan),

I have noticed the slight changes on the Download Page which is now
linking to the RHEL Betas and want to take the discussion to the ML
instead of the Wiki.

I would personally prefer to link to the RHEL Betas from a (not yet
created) Test-driving RHEL SIG page instead of the CentOS download
page. This should be meant to promote project related downloads
(resources provided by CentOS) only.

Best Regards
Marcus

I dont understand the fascination with the RHEL beta's at all. They 
clearly dont want it in the open space, so why are we pushing for that ?

Has anyone spoken to the people at Redhat ? What have they said ? When 
are we going to see the public images ? Rather than going ahead and 
placing stuff like that on the website, there should at the very least 
be a discussion about this. Ironic that Dag would comment on this issue 
asking for a discussion when he asked the question earlier and never 
bothered replying to comments that people made to his question.

I can see that Dag has reinstated the portion that I removed earlier 
today. Dag perhaps you missed my comment to your question ? or you 
rather wish  to ignore it at the time w.r.t what we could / should do 
with the RHEL betas ?

I've removed that content from the wiki page ( again ). Pending this 
conversation thread we can work out what needs to be done and how.

Everyone might also want to keep in mind that RHEL Betas are not 'CentOS 
Downloads'. You dont point people at testing code when they come looking 
for stable distro's. Same reason why we dont publish the testing repo 
for mass usage.
