Current release is 9.
9 is suppose to EOL in April 2004 (right around the corner).
I was told that 10.0 is in beta stage.
When did it became as beta stage? and does anyone have an approx date (I
promise I won't sue you if you make a mistake :-) )
of a release date?

Thanks,

-Alon.

How do you make a "beta" of a Linux distribution release?

I think some people do not understand the whole concept of a Linux
distribution.

This isn't "Windows," it's a collection of tools plus the Linux kernel in a
convenient package that the packager--in this case, Red Hat--chooses to
label as a "release."

You can install all the latest RPMs and be "up2date" if you want, without
buying another "release."

But can anyone answer this question, because I am also interested: "when is
there going to be the next (10) Red Hat release?"

Red Hat doesn't release on firm, fixed dates, but you can make a reasonably
educated guess by looking at when their previous versions came out. Here's
the release schedule for the last few years, as best as I can remember
things:

5.1 May 1998 5.2 Oct 1998
6.0 Apr 1999 6.1 Sep 1999
6.2 Mar 2000 7.0 Oct 2000
7.1 Apr 2001 7.2 Sep 2001
7.3 Jun 2002 8.0 Sep 2002
9 Mar 2003 10 ??

The general pattern with Red Hat has been two release per year. The first
release has varied quite a bit, and come out anytime between March and June.
The second release has been showing up in September or October.

So if you use this as a rough guide, then RH 10 will most likely be released
in the Sep/Oct timeframe.

Cheers!
