Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Linux 9.1 update

I think that 9.1 is Ubuntu 9.10.

For the uninitiated:

It is 9.10 NOT 9.1! The number 10 refers to the month of release which is
October (10th month) NOT January (first month). The 9 refers to 2009. The
next release will be 10.04 which will come in April 2010. Everything in
Linux has a logic to it, however obscure.
