Red Hat Linux 7.3 Released
qurob was the first of many readers to submit
that Red Hat 7.3 has been released.
Press release doesn't contain any surprises, just lists a bunch of stuff thats
included with the dist. (Evolution, Mozilla, Apache). So go find a mirror if
you're a Red Hat runner. Update: 05/06 14:05 GMT by T : christooley helpfully points out this list of mirrors.
I will be the first to get it and the first to reply!
fp nigerz!
Just because slasdhot's readers mainly use linux doesn't mean that we need to almost facetiously notify readers of all the patches et etc.
;)
I mean, most people would complain, wouldn't they, if slashdot ran a headline "Microsoft releases Windows update--adds minro functionality change and stability" or "Apple release new MacOS X change. Nothing much new". Just because its "news for nerds" doesn't mean the editors should ignore the "stuff that matters" part.
The vast majority of people who read slashdot are probably more interested in things like NASA, copyright law developments, et etc. It might be nice if there were a slashdot page specifically for linux kernel, distro, et etc updates. ala apple.slashdot.org, perhaps.
Just a thought (not a flame.)
Oh, and BTW, I'm going to download 7.3 now
I got a mirror for you all.
enough of this crap don't we have enough already. Linux is all about cash now, I mean i can purchase windows and linux for the same price. Who wants to sit and configure their system so it can work while windows already does it for you sure its neat but its a waist of my time i have better things to do than to search for a driver so my sound card can work or to configure the damn mouse for crying out loud

Iwouldnt do that man, I burnt linux on my burner and it wrecked it, nasty fire I tell you. DONT DO IT, USE WINDOWS.
Linux is for losers. Take the advice of the president and stop using crappy Linux operating systems. I find it highly amusing that Lusers have decided to construct this totally haphazardly functioning OS from scratch, when the Berkely license code was already very mature out in the wild. Morons.
Ick! We all know that this would be determental to Linux. Productivity is something we choose to leave for Microsoft to handle. We may not actually get anything done, but damnit, I've got the source! That's what matters, right?

We put Tux on the table, belly down. That probably wasn't so smart, but we figured if he tried to slide, we could just beat him over the head with the dildo. He was already beaten up pretty badly, but my buddy and I enjoyed the fight he put up. We weren't quite sure where to begin at first; it'd be a shame if the party was over too quick. We figured a bit of fondling was in order, you know, to get us worked up and get Tux's juices flowing. As I "grepped" his buttocks and groin, my friend caressed his face with the long, pink dildo. The penguin let out a few cries of discomfort, wanting obvioulsy to be set free. He knew what was in store for him. But at the moment of one of his bellows, my friend was able to stick the dildo in his beak! Tux was enraged and he began to twist and spasm, trying to get out of our grip. "Seems the little fucker's got his strength back!" To solve the problem, I hit him over the head a few times. Not too hard, of course. We wanted him to be conscious so he could enjoy the eXPerience to the max. Not wanting to risk the same thing with his own cock, my friend thrust and withdrew the dildo from Tux's mouth slowly. "If only we could get rid of that beak," he says. I thought it was an interesting idea, something to consider later.
I however, was about to start my own fun. Working up my penis to a nice, firm erection with some AstroGlide (which I had first learned about on that Linux/cyberterrorism web site "slashdot"), I slowly guided into the penguin's tight ass. Tux, still slightly conscious, let out a few half-hearted screams of pain, and twitched slightly. Once my penis was all the way inserted, I got up on Tux's back and grabbed his chest firmly. Without much ceremony, I began to bang the creature hard, like he was a Salvation Army drum. He appearantly loved it... or hated it. I couldn't tell. All I know is that the more he screamed, the harder I fucked. It didn't take me long to reach climax! I exploded deep in his ass with a gigantic load. The pressure was too much at this point and all around my penis, there was a gushing of cum, blood, and feces that flowed like a waterfall onto the floor. Tux was unconscious by this time, so were free to do whatever we wanted.
And that's when it really got crazy!
Actually, I believe Slashdot did run a story on the release of a minor revision to a Windows operating system... You may have seen it - it was the announcement for the release of Windows XP!!!
:-)
Perhaps you have heard of it otherwise referenced as Windows NT 5.1!
In fact, IIRC, Microsoft - not to mention the majority of tech the world - made quite a huge commotion about the release of this new OS. And despite the XP operating system being touted as a revolutionary new step in computing, it still only garnished enough pull within the closed ranks of the windows developer community to qualify for an increment of the minor revision to the Windows version...
But hey, that's just Microsoft...why would we - a technically knowledgeable, primarily Linux community - get excited over a minor revision to the Red Hat Linux. After all, it is only one of the most stable - not to mention commercial - distros currently in existence!

I don't know if that's from an FTP or HTTP server, but in doing so you're probably limiting the number of people who can download the isos from RHN, since a lot of FTP servers have a limit on the number of concurrent connections (that's especially true for anonymous connections, but also to a lesser extent for authenticated connections). Those people have paid the same thing as you: why would you prevent them from getting it? One at the time would be better for everybody, and it might not even take you more time (since with all of them, you're maxing out your cable-modem, with one you should be able to also)!
(Saying this from a DSL line with 3 concurrent downloads from a single mirror... bad me! Bad)
