    "Red Hat Mustang (aka Red Hat 4.9) is now avaialble. It is a beta
release
        which continues along the path of Thunderbird.

    The highlights of Mustang (comared to Red Hat 4.2) include:

        1) completely glibc based (though libc5 applications continue
           to run [well, applix does anyway])
        2) new fdisk code (if this doesn't convince you to backup,
nothing
           will)
        3) XFree86 3.3.1 (just like you can get for Biltmore already)
        4) Completely automated install (kickstart)
        5) Hardware autoprobing (for PCI cards and mice)
        6) Includes user-mode tools for filesystem access, gecos
editing,
           and network interfaces.
        7) Network interfaces can have multiple configurations (such
           as 'hotel' and 'direct' for a PPP line).
        8) tcl 8.0, which provides a massive performance improvement

    Mustang has seen quite a bit of testing, and users may upgrade to
Mustang
     from previous releases of Red Hat Linux (including Thunderbird).

    A new mailing list has been established at mustang-list at redhat.com
which is
    dedicated to letting thirlled sportcar owners laud our
accomplishments.
    Subscribe by sending mail with a subject of "subscribe" (please
leave out
    the quotes though) to mustang-list-request at redhat.com.

    Mustang does seem quite stable and we encourage users to try it.
Keep in
    mind that it is a beta release, however, so things will go wrong.
