| 2nd public beta of next Red Hat Linux distro ('Skipjack') |
Apr. 09, 2002
For the adventurous among us: Red Hat has announced availability for download of the second public beta version of its next generation Linux distribution, codenamed 'Skipjack'. Here is an excerpt from the announcement which was sent to redhat-watch-list@redhat.com . . .
. . . Much like the first beta, it's packed with the very latest technology, including: - the 2.4.18 kernel
- XFree86 4.2.0
- GNOME 1.4, including Evolution
- Mozilla 0.9.9
- and much, much more
Red Hat does not recommend the use of beta software on mission critical or production systems. In fact, all of the bits have been specially marked 'beta" and your machine will know (hope you don't have stairs in your house.)
Please use the "Red Hat Public Beta" product and the "skipjack-beta2" version. Also note that upgrades from one beta to another are never supported by Red Hat. In particular, upgrades from the first public beta of Skipjack are known to cause problems, so please perform a fresh installation.
SKIPJACK can be found at a number of places around the world. Specifically: or, at the following mirrors: or check Red Hat's website for a mirror near you.
