Then you can afford to wait for the Release Announcement - like the rest of us - Or if you really wanted to know the answer to all these question, you wouldnt ask the questions@ list that was created for beginners quetions, you would go search the archives of the developer lists, & subscribe some. No subscribing a list doesnt mean you have to run it, just that you keep yourself informed & dont need to ask quaestions in advance of reality to the wrong list. > However, VPS, with ZFS, has me really > excited; I don’t enjoy Solaris, and Enterprise Linux is still stuck in > 2009, with kernel 2.6.32.
