You must have read a different place than I did.  Info that I read says
the release day is February 14.  That is alot longer than 2 weeks.

It is a public beta straight from RedHat.  You do not have to wait for us
to test it.  It is old though, from the beginning of November.

There was no beta of the beta as it was a beta.  Things will change.  No
need to fix things that we have no control over.  I did build the rpms
from SRPMS that were in the beta just to make sure I could.

As soon as RedHat releases RHEL4 SRPMS I will compare the rpms that I have
build from the above mentioned beta and replace with the new ones.  After
that will release as a alpha.
