[Tfug] /.: Red Hat Linux is ending

[A. Chris Hilton]

Leo-

 According to traffic on the list, Sandeen is going to respin
the installer with the freshly SCO scrubbed binaries (version 1.3.1)
eventually.  This respin will only support RH9.

Other than that there has been no discussion regarding future support
for Fedora or RHEL.  Hopefully the Fedora project will see fit to
include support for XFS in their installer.

It is also not too difficult to spin your own installer, especially now
that Anaconda documentation is available.
