wrong, the GM release is delayed by the time necessary to burn dvd's.

If Novell was not providing at all dvd's, we could release days earlier.
But not the dimension of a week you likely have in mind now.

Novell is actually giving gold master images to third parties before public release (see eg German blog [1]), but they can also not produce and ship faster than Novell does currently. :-) Bye, Steve [1] http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/User-Blogs/Aus-dem-Leben-eines-Hardwa... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
