Re: [PLUG] Red Hat Beta

["Nicholas Vettese" <pluglist@hotmail.com>]

I only remember seeing the CD tester in the beta (Skipjack).  I have 
installed 7.3 about 4 or 5 time so far, and out of those times I have 
installed RPMs from the 7.2 CD on all but one of the installs.  As for 
upgrading, there are a few tools out there to help you.  RPMfind is one of 
them.  The other is a version of apt-get for RedHat which I believe is 
located at www.tuxfamily.org.  I believe the quick turn out for the next 
version of RedHat is due to the Gnome release and KDE's constant updating.
