Hi Troy, If you don't get the compliment in this the first time, PRN :) Rather than reading the mailing list, which I do wrt to 5.x, I visited distrowatch.com and found, much to my surprise, the national labs hawking 6.0 Beta 3 in a press release arguably issued mid afternoon on last Friday, suggesting that folks download http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/i386/iso/SL-6-i386-2011-02-11-Everything-DVD1.iso ---or--- http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/iso/SL-6-x86_64-2011-02-11-Everything-DVD1.iso. Because I think your and your teams' work is better than what the Germans say about "warm, sliced bread" (read: of _enormous potential benefit to the world's economy_), I think you should _consider re-releasing the press release_ to point to the trouble free URLs and thus gain more attention and a better review from folks who think they can press any button without concern about reading mailing lists of which they are unaware or choose to filter out because of focused interest on the more mature 5.x. Again, I'm very glad to see the U. S. Government change from the "that's classified, you can't use our sqrt routine funded by AEC $s" stance in the post-Sputnik days to openly sharing your work product with those who need/choose to have an alternative to RedHat and CentOS. kind and best regards/ldv/rural ISP/WISP
