Doesn't seem likely, as the roadmap calls for a release candidate around the time SUSE 10 gets its release candidate, and there is still no date set for a release
Slightly deviating from the topic of this thread, the roadmap page (http://opensuse.org/index.php/Roadmap) says:
SUSE Linux 10.0 Schedule Aug 9, 2005 SUSE Linux 10.0 beta1 release. Aug 18, 2005 SUSE Linux 10.0 beta2 release. Aug 25, 2005 SUSE Linux 10.0 beta3 release. Sep 1, 2005 SUSE Linux 10.0 beta4 release. Sep 9, 2005 SUSE Linux 10.0 RC1 release.
So is the release candidate the actual product that gets released or is it only a "candidate"? I've often seen stuff like "RC2". Doesn't that mean that the previous release wasn't a release?
Or is it something like Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition? Or perhaps Win XP and Win XP with SP1?
RC1 is probably closer to the version that MS just released to testers. In the case of SUSE 10.0 Novell has released the product to the community earlier for testing (beta releases) than MS would. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
