New Red Hat Linux Beta: Severn

Posted by Hemos on from the coming-at-you dept.

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.

    I dont know who the fuck Andrew is, but judging from your childish behavior, one can reasonably guess you are the Kevin Sullivan that is featured on that website, based on the descriptions of him and your postings here.

    I installed RedHat 9.0, and it wasn't able to autodetect or otherwise utilize my configuration: GF4 ti4200 w/ dual monitor setup (21" + 19"). Installing the latest Nvidia binary drivers as-is caused hard lockups on boot (read: no num/caps lock or ping replies), despite many attempts.

    I was hoping for a quick, clean install of a modern Linux OS to port my software over to (which uses OpenGL, so the binary drivers were a must), but I crashed and burnt. Many times over, even after tweaking my BIOS and following all available tips I could find on forums.

    Sigh.
