Red Hat Linux 7.3 Released

qurob was the first of many readers to submit that Red Hat 7.3 has been released. Press release doesn't contain any surprises, just lists a bunch of stuff thats included with the dist. (Evolution, Mozilla, Apache). So go find a mirror if you're a Red Hat runner. Update: 05/06 14:05 GMT by T : christooley helpfully points out this list of mirrors.

Nice spoiler, jerk!

Well thanks a lot, jerk. Some of us in California haven't even had a chance to read it yet, and you've given away the ending. Didn't the negative feedback from the Lone Gunmen snafu teach you anything?

Sheesh!

Anybody else experiencing this problem?

Re:Whats new

[L1nUx h4x0r]

glibpr0n-1.0: better/faster rendering of skin tones, including the ability to mathematically extrapolate other angles.
gpr0n-sync-0.9: Automatically download the latest pics and movies with this great piece of Free software.
gpr0n-view-1.1: By far the greatest viewer for graphics, both still and movies. Using glibpr0n's full API set, this program can do it all.
m$-hack-3.11: Tired of typing M$ all the time or trying to come up with snappy new insults for the company everyone loves to hate? M$ hack connects to a distributed network via a completely free software P2P network and can automatically be used to correct your typing in any application. You type "Microsoft" and it replaces it with a real-time generated mock. Essential for all the l33t h4x0rz out there.
b4sh3r-1.0: The newest shell for Linux, released under the GPL, this is quite possibly the least user friendly shell around. Providing a direct link to kernel APIs, all commands are given as 16 bit common command codes, or 32 bit addresses to the actual kernel code. If you don't want your mom/girlfriend/wife (I know, I know, I include girlfriend and wife because I'm an optimist) to mess with your l33t setup.
sl4sh3r-9-1.0: Slasher-9 is the world's most sophisticated trollbot. Drawing upon the same P2P network (Did I mention all the traffic is seperated over FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and SMTP ports, with 4096 bit encryption?) that m$-hack built, this bot ensures any /. user (or even AC) of first post each and every time. Or, start this bad boy with the parameter --karmawhore and it will automatically retrive articles and post them in the thread, and summon all of the other bots (via the p2p network) to mod it up as "Interesting").
lk4@$$ez-0.1: This nifty little utility can make anyone feel like a kernel hacker. By scouring the net, and subscribing to the lkml, this bot sends you messages containing all the stuff that Alan, Linus, and the rest of the hacker gang, are saying, but in English! That's right. Now, when you go to linux get together, you too can sound like you know what the hells going on. Proposed expansion ideas include showing you the code, corretly commented, so that anyone can create and submit a patch.
fsckd4man-2.0: This utility, created for network defense, can be used to find exploits to your own computers connected to a network. Using advanced random-cypher-encrpyted-stenenographic-pseudo-frac tal-metasculptic-herristics-reivew tacktics, this bad boy can make it into, and grant you root permissions, on any box that has any type of security flaw. Remember, this is only intended for use on your own systems for protection.
Db-comp-0.4: This piece of GPL software is an alternative to M$'s C# complier. Db, C#, they sound the same to me.
All this and more!

the force is strong with this one ;)

Re:Find a mirror?

[Anonymous Coward]

Yeah, perhaps Redhat takes the time to set up the mirrors BEFORE leaking the fact the release is out.

Just a thought, anyway.
