Rumors
I don't know why there's nothing about this rumor in Slashdot, but
it is rumorred that RedHat 6.1 will be announced next week (I guess
that the availability will not be immediate). The strange thing is
that Bob Young (CEO of RedHat) said in an interview a few days ago
that "6.1. is a few months from now"; It is possible that he said
that in order to avoid cancels of orders of customers who wait for
the new 6.1. But there is also the issue of GNOME. According to
another rumor, the next major version (1.0.50) is soon, and I was
always sure that 6.1 would include it. So how can they release 6.1
before 1.0.50 is available ???
Another rumor (in this case, a local rumor), is that Maariv and
Yediot-Aharonot are expected to launch their on-line newspapers
very soon. Maariv, BTW, is based on Linux. Having all the leading
newspapers on air, will be a real revolution for the Internet in
Israel. So after we have virtual banking and on-line newspapers,
the only remained issue is non-stop connections for consumers (i.e.
not expensive frame-relay). Let's hope that the ADSL/CATV will not
be delayed too much.
