    Unfortunatly, RH needs to wait for another broken version of GCC to come out, to base 8.0 on... so don't hold your breath

    "Limbo" means it'll actually never come out. ;-)

    For those people who are moaning about 5 disks, all you really need is the net install disk image, which conveniently fits on a 1.44 floppy. Then you can spend 4 hours downloading the beast, 3 hours configuring, 2 hours cursing, then reboot and continue playing MoH:AA on the other system which we wont mention ;-)

    No, that would be "Woody".

  5. Limbo -- Mambo? by cpeterso · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since the Limbo is also a dance, I bet that the next Red Hat release will be codenamed something like Mambo or (dare I say it) Macarena? ;-)
