I don't know when 15.2 will be available on RH Enterprise 3.0. Last I
heard is that it will be with 15.2.
PS: AS stands for Advanced Server, which is just a flavor of RHE 3.0

[PCB_FORUM] Re: UNIX vs PC Workstation
Andy,
Do you know when 15.2 be on RedHat 3.0 AS? I'm working the IC side of
Linux and Redhat Enterprise 3.0 WS and I've been told that the IC side
will not be production until march 2005. What is AS? didn't want to
post this as my question is not related to pcb... By the way, the IC
side was better on 7.3 than 3.0 because they hadn't compiled it for 3.0
:-(.
thanks,
Donna
