Red Hat 9 to be released soon
After receiving the e-mail below, I'm guessing that Red Hat 9 will be released on April 7th. Is it worth paying $60 to get it early - I think not. Hopefully, I'll have the same easy download and install experience I did with 8.0 in October.
Dear Matt: You may know that Red Hat Network is the best way to keep your systems running the latest errata and always up to date. What you might not know is that Red Hat Network passed the one million users mark earlier this year. We've listened to valuable feedback and have added two items of interest to keep those users happy - early release of Red Hat Linux 9 ISOs and improved technical support. Beginning March 31, 2003, paid subscribers to Red Hat Network will have access to Red Hat Linux 9 ISOs - a full week before retail store and Red Hat FTP availability. Also, Red Hat Network subscribers will receive dedicated Red Hat Network Technical Support.
