Well, I'm a Debianoid that installs lots of my packages from source (and
anyway, I'm not THAT crazy to drag my 'puter all the way to DC...)
I think that RH 6.0 has so many UI improvements (Gnome, Enlitenment, KDE ????)
that newbies will like, so it is better with this version. When people know
that RH 6.0 is out, and they bring their computers to DC, and then find out
that they get an outdated version they won't be that happy...
As for your other comment (about bugs in 4.0 and 5.0 and the likeliness of
them being in 6.0) RH isn't such a great distro anyway (I know some people
who claim that the unstable version of Debian is more stable then any stable
version of RH), and will always have too many bugs for a Linux machine, but it
is a pretty good starting distro (The problem is that nowadays the newbies
keep "improving" themselves :o) )
BTW, I didn't get any answer to my 2nd question: Should I wake up earlier then
usual next Fri. and come and help to install or the Sivan/PF1 people will do all
the work?
