Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31

Posted by timothy on from the no-april-fool's-joke dept.

Garfunkel writes "Looks like Red Hat is breaking tradition and skipping 8.1 and 8.2 and jumping directly to 9.0 RHN subscribers get it a week ahead on March 31st. Available to the rest the world a week later (April 7)." The website refers to the upcoming release simply as "9" -- which doesn't rule out future point releases, but could it be?

    Your sig is incorrect.

    The french held the germans at the Marne in World War I. The germans failed to take Paris, the Von Schlieffen plan failed, WWI then became trench warfare.
