No word, not even a peep, at least that I can gather. We're all frustrated in anticipation so I daily check the main page. Meanwhile, dl Scientific Linux and mess around.

There was a particularly nasty bug in anaconda for 5.6 that we were working on for almost a week with new distro/iso spins at least once a day during this period. We seem to have finally fixed this problem and we are getting good tests with the i386 now. We expect both of these distros to be released in the upcoming week (barring any unforeseen issues). That would then make 6.0 the focus of the team. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

When you guys get some down time (lol, I know), I hope you get a chance to look at an official structure that would facilitate contributions from companies. I know that I would like to contribute. Someone floated the idea of a "hardware wish list", iirc. Perhaps have a funky little webpage where all the hardware, down to cables, up to servers and all the bits in between could be clicked on. Then let people say "I'll buy that for the CentOS folks", click on it, pay for it and have it shipped directly to you. Anyway, the hard work of you guys it much appreciated. The antryness of many is a sign of just how much your work is needed. Please do keep up the good work and don't mind the rumblings from the crowd. :) -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer at alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org
