Hi Michelle,

The final release of MetroX was announced on the redhat-list-announce
mailing list earlier this morning.  Anyone who has purchased the
official Red Hat 3.0.3 is eligible for a free upgrade to it.  Just FYI
(and anyone else who's listening).

The printing problem is strange.  I hooked up a printer here to see if
I could get the same thing to happen, but it worked fine.

Regards,
