[rhn-users] Red Hat Network Satellite 4.2.0 Notice

[Steven Lee]

All,

FYI, I upgraded my 4.1 RHN Proxy to 4.2 successfully yesterday  
afternoon.  I've confirmed RHEL 2.1, 3, 4, and RHEL 5 Beta 2 systems  
can all download packages through it.

I made the dive to upgrade to 4.2 because I figured in our higher ed  
environment, *someone* will install RHEL 5 on the day it is  
released.  I'd rather not be caught unprepared :-)
