I got the same email and no, no one has heard anything prior to this
email. I dont know what 9.0 will have in it, but after the V8.0 fiasco (I
downgraded my systems back to 7.3), I think I will wait a long time before
trying it. As a matter of fact, as I type this, Debian is installing on
my laptop (it used to be RH).

NT makes anything simple, easy, and anything difficult to do, impossible.
Unix makes anything easy to do difficult, and anything difficult to do,
possible. Basically, if your VCR is still flashing "12:00" then unix is not
for you!
