"When it is ready and not a second before."

I would suggest you ask upstream but they will tell you the
exact same thing.

Thanks and Yes and I agree and know that, but I was just wondering if they had a potential target date.....I have read September and also October but was wondering if any of that was more than speculation....

I thought that was the debian mantra. And also the reason we don't use it.

I thought it was the Id mantra :-)

I've been checking around and haven't heard anything other than speculation.

It's *all* speculation. Redhat does not discuss release dates.

You can, perhaps, draw conclussions as to imminent release based
on bugzilla activity, but that is by no means a sure thing.

Who is this "we" you speak of? What I posted was the hard cold
truth of the matter. Redhat does not discuss release dates
with the public, so "it will be released when it is ready and
not a second before" is as close as you are going to get from
anyone with regards to a release date.

Well, the beta is up :

http://www.redhat.com/rhel/beta/

so the corporate experience on this list may be able now to make an
educated guess (still an unofficial guess, of course, about the most
likely length of time till the first full release a/o that of CentOS 6 --
but still of some use to those of us waiting eagerly ...].

that is already the *second* beta of RHEL 6, so it's not really
news.

It's been up for many months; in fact this is the second beta
cut.

I can guess that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow also,
doesn't mean that it's worthwhile to do so.

No, it's not. Betas do not have a time-line.

Red Hat does not publicly discuss release dates. Red Hat does
not privately discuss release dates, either.

Anything that anyone publishes that may reference a release date
is nothing but pure conjecture on their part up to the time that
Red Hat makes their official release announcement; as such
playing guessing games as to potential release dates is pretty
pointless.

As previously stated: "It will be released when it's released
and not a moment before."
