Red Hat 8 release: Monday

Just talked to Red Hat. The official release date, including ISOs, is Monday. Anybody who wants to comment on the new version is welcome to drop me a line. I'm writing a story on the new version today. And what exactly were you guys able to download?

Good point.  Hey, if you can't wait a few more days for Red Hat to make 
the announcement and want to use an ftp site that isn't following the 
standard procedures (for whatever reason, good or bad), you get what you 
deserve.

We've all been running the beta and know what 90% of the final release 
will look/be like.  The big differences now are just bug fixes, tweaks, 
and minor improvements.  It's time to sit back and wait for the natual 
course of events.  The wheels are in motion.  (Really Babu, they are. ;)
