    Oh my god, a month? What is the world coming to?? Nobody should run software more than a few days old, at the very most .

    Please RedHat, if you're reading, please make your distributions from the very latest alpha and beta versions, preferrably from developer snapshots done the day of the release. In the past your releases based on beta-quality code were wonderful and I'd hate to see you become another SuSE or Mandrake.

    Argh, you caught us! Of course, 7.2 is actually still 1.0, just with a higher version number so people with fat net connections can brag about having more current stuff.

  5. RedHat denies! by Bender+Unit+22 · · Score: 5, Funny

    RedHat now denies that they have released another beta of their distro - Roswell. They say: "In reality it was just another one of our disaster recovery backups that we place offsite every month. There is no evidence that points to that this should have been a distro".
    Meanwhile RedHat believers rush to FTP sites, trying to gather evidence that it indeed was a real distro that had entered these servers.

    Another coverup? Only time will tell.

    Hey Kids, check that Born-On date!

    If your software is older than your beer, it's time to upgrade!

  7. Official denial: There's no Roswell either by bero-rh · · Score: 3, Funny
