Techies can have a sense of humor too!

And I’m not just talking about SevTrek. Bill Nottingham of Red Hat posted a message that denies the existence of a new beta:

“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.”

He then goes on to list the major features, place to file bug reports, and place to get the docs, as well as a list of mirror locations to download the 2.5 gigabytes of software. He ends with

“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.”

I love a good laugh.
