Reply-To: redhat-announce-list на redhat.com

It has come to our attention that rumors are floating regarding
the appearance of a Red Hat Linux beta release, named ROSWELL. We
would like to reassure you that there is nothing of the sort.

No other object has been misidentified as a Red Hat Linux beta release
more often than Rawhide. Rawhide was updated just recently. Reporters
probably thought they saw something on an FTP site other than Rawhide,
but we assure you, it was Rawhide.

Reports cite that this supposed ROSWELL beta included 4 CDs of software,
with such things as a 2.4.6 Linux kernel, XFree86 4.1.0, KDE 2.2pre,
GNOME 1.4, and journaling file system support, and included support
for both x86 and ia64.

Were any such Red Hat Linux beta release to exist, it would not be
recommended for use on mission-critical hardware, and any casualties
due to data loss, mutation, swamp gas, radiation, or strange glowing lights
with such a release would be scoffed at. Any problems or bugs with such
a release would most likely be the effect of passing weather balloons.
These problems would be reported at:

  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
  
However, there is no evidence to suggest the actual presence of a ROSWELL
beta release. Those who claim otherwise would best not flaunt their
naivete by telling anyone that they saw anything other than Rawhide.

Documents pertaining to this supposed beta release are
available at:
