When Redhat shipped their most recent version of linux, it was all over the various online news services - even made it into some of the mainstream press. Theres a lot of interest out there in alternative operating systems at the moment, and so I think there's a good chance of getting some stuff in print now that 3.0 is released and being mastered. For my curiosity are there any plans afoot to get a blizzard of press-releases out to the right people when the CDs start to ship?
