Re: New Releases
> 1. Maybe they're not? Did you base your "finding" that 9 distributions
The number "9" resulted from dividing half a year (+-180 days) by 20
days, and not from the number of distros. The number of distros (RH,
Mandrake, SuSE) is 3. The number 81 resulted from powering 9 by the
number of distros minus one.
As to the reasons why all of the distros release in the same time:
This was exactly the purpose of my question. To learn if you think that
it was a coincidence, or that these reasons made the vendors to
"synchronize".
I guess that the major changes in 2.4.10 helped the distros to
"synchronize", however - Mandrake bundles 2.4.8 rather than 2.4.10, and
only the new RH and SuSE will come with 2.4.10. So at least Mandrake
was not motivated by the new kernel.
