RedHat 7.3 beta (skipjack) is out

Posted by HeUnique on from the read-the-release-notes dept.

Just saw in Red Hat's FTP's - Redhat 7.3 (codename:skipjack) is available for download. There aren't lots of changes there, but you'll find that RedHat 7.3 comes with KDE 3.0 (rc3 is on this beta), you'll need to remove the Ximian Gnome before upgrade, and in general - read the release notes before testing this release. As always, don't try it on your main Linux partition, and use the mirrors. Annoucment is here (thanks to Linux Weekly News)

    I just checked the mirrors, and this thing is five ISO images! What the hell is RH thinking? Even with a broadband connection, there's no way I'm downloading that much just to play with a beta.
