• By Jeremy Hogan, Red Hat - Yesterday we issued an announcement that we'd be making our next release, Red Hat Linux 9, available early for RHN subscribers. It was lacking some supporting info, and as you'd expect, we got a lot of questions. Most notably, "Why 9?" and "Why drop the dot?"

Review: NetOp gives Linux control of remote Windows desktops http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/18/1217226

• By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols - From where many Linux users sit, Linux needs third-party remote control software, such as Danware Data A/S's NetOp Remote Control 7.5, like a fish needs a bicycle. After all, with networking built in from the ground up and programs like telnet and SSH, Linux comes with remote control.

With Mandrake, SuSE     and Red Hat, all releasing between a few days apart, this seems this is     going to be a big month with many important Linux releases!"
