New Red Hat Linux Beta: Severn
JofCoRe writes "Just got a message from the redhat watch list today, announcing the availability of a new beta, called "Severn". Some snippets from the announcement:
What's its development status?
"It doesn't seem too horrendously in flux. Difficult at this
moment to make a specific diagnosis."
Among other things, SEVERN has: a new graphical boot, GCC 3.3, an updated 2.4.21 kernel, updated Evolution and Mozilla,
More information about the beta can be found at rhl.redhat.com. And the Release notes are found here. Looks like they have it currently labeled as v9.0.93." Update: 07/21 15:11 GMT by H : It's 3.2.3 GCC, not 3.3, as I had above.
slackware for EVAR!
Debian is better.
Gentoo is the best.

Exactly why are there NO people of color in the Slashdot/Linux/open source communities? Why are blacks excluded. Why does Rob Malda aka CmdrTaco associate with ZERO minorities. Why the blatent racism? Please name even ONE black involved with Open Source. It is impossible because there are none. Liberals hypocrits like TORVALDS MALDA COWBOY NEAL STALLMAN etc are quick to praise minorities but would never actually associate with one. They are frightened of them and believe them to be a criminal element, crossing the street if one ever approched them.
I am sick and tired of pale, obese, socially inept, smelly and sexless white boys contolling everything. Please stop the blatent Racism and allow a token black to participate. Thank you!
who cares! Why is there such a divide against microsoft? Do you realy think this linux/unix crap is going to replace an OS that almost every business in the world uses? Good luck retards, you're going to need it when you try to convince my grandmother that word isn't word anymore. Hell she already has a hard time with word!
I'm so tired of hearing all of you complain. Why don't you direct your energy elsewhere. Could it be that you'll actually get something done?! Or would that cut into your so called "work day".
Get a girlfriend.Oh no, that's the problem....none of you are getting laid!
-- bitches
Nah, once you wake up and realize Mac sucks, you just put Gentoo on it. :)
Anything is possible given time and money.
So she can continue using word, and fucking every hobo in town who can't afford a good prostitute.
Cripes, dude....
Shove your dick back in your pants.
"Rocky Rococo, at your cervix!"
SEVER as in SEVER RAT??? Or is it sewer??? Beats me, English is my third language..
Put that new REDHAT down the sever!
New RED HAT sewer rat edition! Flush it down the sewer and try Gentoo, Slackware or FreeBSD.
You are a fucking idiot. RH has had Evolution 1.4 (GTK2) in RH9 for most of this year.
If you want known good stable software, you're supposed to use debian, with only the stable apt tree or wtfever it's called.
Redhat is a commercial distribution, even when it's free, and thus it's not about good or stable - even if you disagree with my first paragraph, it's about making money. They do what people will pay for. They think people will pay for apache 2, I'm sure people have been asking for it, and now they get it. And so do you. That's what you get for supporting a commercial distribution.
It would be nice if gentoo's release tree were made up only of stable versions, and then we could say this of gentoo also. It's true you have to build your own packages on gentoo, but if you have the same architecture all around (or are willing to accept a less-optimized build) then you only have to build them once, or at least only once for each architecture you decide to optimize/build for.
