I have now put up SL 5.0 Beta 2 for i386. Changes Put in a few packages that were missing such as thunderbird, gnome-pilot, *brl* , evolution-data-server*. Also removed a few packages where there was a older and a newer version. Updated redhat-logos to include "photography" images during the install. If you have pictures that you would like included please contact Troy at [log in to unmask] . Note that we only accept photographs that are completely freely redistributable. This means nothing with a copywrite unless you are the author and give permission. -Connie Sieh On Mon, 2 Apr 2007, Connie Sieh wrote: > It is time to start testing SL5.
