New Distros (was: Linux Kernel Programming)

and MandrakeSoft to release Linux-Mandrake 8.0 ?

IIRC, Mandrake's Chmouel was planned to lecture last week at Ganei-
HaTaarucha (I was late to his lecture because of a concurrent event).
Did he lecture? Did he say anything about the date? Did anybody else
(Hetz?) know anything about it?

It is going to be an interesting fight this time. Until now, the later
to release a version (among these two competitors), was considered to
be "better" (by most of the people). It is not an objective question
("Al Taam VaReiach Ein Ma LeHitvakeach"), but when you compare so
similar distros, usually the later is better, thanks to being more up-
to-date (newer kernel, later security fixes, more drivers, etc.).

This time, RH7.1 and LM8.0 are going to be released very closely to
each other, so it is going to be a real fight. We want blood! ;-)
