The problem with XFree86 is that it would be a bit unfair to release their 3.1.2 right now, simply relinked against the new libc. They have done a *huge* amount of work in their latest betas, many graphics boards that didn't work erlier do now, so giving out a rather old version but pretend it were a new one isn't quite right. Alas, XFree86 is still not yet ready for a new release, all you can get by now are betas (and it doesn't make any sense to put them on a CD -- the beta servers have an expiration date that's probably over before the CD ships). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
