Yay, huzzah, huzzah! I was sick to death of having to rebuild Kermit
RPM's and rebuild and install them locally. Unfortunately, there is no
such thing as "Red Hat 9.0". It's "RedHat 9". "RedHat" is the company
name as well as the release name, and as near as I can tell RedHat got
tired of the bad (and well-deserved) reputation that their "*.0"
releases had for being unusable, and bit the bullet and came up with a
new numbering scheme.
