Announcing...

                     Red Hat Linux "Pinstripe"
                           a Beta release

Red Hat. Inc. presents a beta release of Red Hat Linux for your
hacking pleasure. First, the regular drill:

   This is a beta release of Red Hat Linux. It is not intended for
   mission critical applications. It's not even intended for
   non-mission critical applications. Important data should not be
   entrusted to Pinstripe, as it may eat it and make loud belching
   noises.

Significant changes have been made since the last version of Red Hat
Linux. We need your help to find and report bugs. Search for
existing bug reports for problems you find by using bugzilla at:

  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/

Attach patches if you're motivated!

This beta includes so much cutting edge software, the binary packages
come on two iso images. The installation program now handles reading
packages from multiple CDs.

* Where can I get this release?
