Personally, as a Linux "newbie", I would rather wait for a "4.1" CD
than download or buy 4.0. I use 3.03 with little trouble now, but it seems
that 4.0 is trouble prone, judging from the list.
This is not unlike Solaris 2.4, which has a huge list of patches
for several important parts. Solaris 2.5 also has a bunch of patches.
Once the Linux patches are complete and everyone knows where the problems
are, the system should be re-released with a higher number, such as 4.1.
Any other software/OS Vendor would do this. If Red Hat and Linux
are to be mainstream, desktop systems, Linux distributors needs to step up
to the plate! Red Hat has taken it opun itself to make Linux easy, and
they shouldn't step back from that now that the relase is a little munged.
Just my $.02, for what it's worth.
