SuSE stopped released free ISO's (only live evaluation version is available - not much useless) for a very simple - most of the downloaders are simply leechers - they (the downloaders) don't and not planning to buy it, which means for SuSE - for every download, they loose a sale - so they don't offer SuSE ISO's for PC (X86) any more. Only non X86 (and not S/390 & AS/400). > Red Hat 8.0: > ============ > End of April, +- 2 weeks. > Will contain KDE3 and XFree86 4.2, but still GCC-2.9.6 and GNOME 1.4. > (first time that KDE is supplied in a better status than GNOME under > RH; of course, users can always download GNOME2 when it is ready, but > the experience teaches us that more than 90% of the users don't upgrade > anything, maybe except for security patches). It's Red Hat 7.3 - not 8.0. It's just an update. 8.0 will be available around October (just my guess from previous Red Hat releases). Regarding upgrading to GNOME 2.0 - people will install it from Ximian and keep updating from Ximian (most of them). Of course - you'll need to remove all those Ximian RPMS if you're upgrading to a newer version of Red Hat (or de-select GNOME from the RH installation) - but thats another issue. > WINE 1.0: > ========= > Contrary to the expectations, I do NOT see any WINE 1.0 soon. > Although this is a list of expected announcements, and not of the "non" > announcments, I mention it here, because there are too many rumors > about a soon 1.0. The Wine developers (I follow this issue too) are now plannning a set of stress testing tools.
