BTW it seems almost every Linux distributions nowadays try to jump to at 
least version 7, although the jump sometimes is too high like slackware, 
from slackware 4.0 to slackware 7.0 (now 7.1)

the same also with SuSE from 6.4 to 7.0
redhat also (6.2 to 7.0)
Which distributions is the trigger of this behaviour ? mandrake ?
