I noticed that the shipping date on the website has changed to 24 Oct today.
That's interesting - I have a copy of 9.0 sitting downstairs which arrived today. (sorry, that was cruel, I will admit...) Not installed yet (due to spending the evening trying to save a friend's WinME installation) - but I've had a look through the documentation, as I decided to splash out on the full version, not the upgrade. By and large the documentation for 9.0 looks pretty good... Pros: A really _good_ explanation of bootloaders (admin guide ch. 4) Ditto on rolling your own kernel (admin guide ch. 10) Good (basic) IPv6 documentation (admin guide ch. 13) Very nice Kerberos documentation (admin guide ch. 18) Decent chapters on sound and video (user guide ch. 18+19) Cons: User guide - KDE (chapter 4) - revenge of the germlish! Section 4.2.2 (Desktop) has one chapter written in English. And two written in German. Which is a minor glitch (especially if you can read German, or have access to a translator of some form), but does stick out a bit in an otherwise well-presented manual. I'll report back on how it actually *behaves* when I've had time to install it. Gideon. (And I'll try and mail you a copy of the filelist, Richard. YOU is OK, but apt-get is _good_.)
