Red Hat 6.2 Soon -- 1:47 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Slashdot is reporting that the popular Linux distribution, Red Hat, (the official Linux distro of The Haus) is about to release version 6.2. In the comments it is noted that Xfree86 4.0 will not be included.

We're not including XFree86 4.0 because it's not ready. It doesn't compile at all on sparc (we're currently working on fixing this), doesn't compile out of the box on alpha (we've already fixed that), doesn't have all the drivers 3.3.x used to have (fixing that is a LOT of work), it doesn't have a working configuration tool yet (XFree86 -configure is a start, but it won't let you configure international keyboards and such), and there are a bit too many bugs for a stable release even in the drivers that are there.

Look for it at your favorite mirror site soon.
