Why was there an ISO for PPC? As I check now, it= 's > either been removed or I can't find it. Something fishy is going on? It's not there until the official release announcement goes out. Any premature sightings are presumably a side effect of eating too much spicy food late at night. Or something. Seriously though: ftp servers will be preloaded with 9.1 install sets before the release, so that people can start using them the moment they get the release announcement. Before that point, there's no guarantee install sets will not be arbitrarily removed or modified in response to last minute problems. Good luck to you if you do get hold of them early: it's your 15 minutes of fame, no more. Yes, 9.1-RELEASE is delayed. Some of that is due to the effects of the security compromise, some is down to the release process not being pushed through as efficiently as it might be. It is coming. Soon.
