RedHat is falling into the "bigger numbers are more impressive" trap. It's not even 9.0, it's just 9. I am still trying to download disc 1 from RHN. Was getting 5-8k/sec yesterday. Now at least I'm averaging 32k/sec. It's still pathetic, but better than before. Only another 5.6 ISOs to go. <sigh> -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Neil hasn't locked and loaded anything other than a floppy disk." - Unknown at Collective Technologies Hiring Weekend (4/29/2000)
I agree that bigger numbers are more impressive when the number is between 0 and 10 but what will happen after 10? 12 does not seem that impressive to me... 19? 34? may be 99? :) baris On Tue, 1 Apr 2003 14:54:32 -0500 Theo Van Dinter wrote:

I think that if the next number is not cool enough, the default is to use the year. Luckily, now that we are into the 2k century, every year sounds cool. aka: Linux 2k5!!! Cheers, Sean
There was much debate over why it was called 9.0 and not just 8.1. In my opinion after having used it for a day now, there was no need for it to be 9.0, it could have easily been 8.1. However some useful documents are on the redhat website as to why its 9.0 and not 8.1. Nothing really was that convincing though.

Nothing is cooler than the number 11 HP Seems to have stuck with it X seems to have stuck with it MP3 sync blocks are 11 bits do or die Ah, but I'm biased, as I'm a Spinal Tap fan, a Deadhead, and my first internet access was via RSTS...

First of all, it is Red Hat 9, not 9.0. Second, it isn't supposed to be publically available until next week.
