There are a ton of updates for Redhat 7.2 this first week.
I also have the Redhat 7.2 Documentation CD downloaded, 
and the source code which has increased to a TWO CD set.

Redhat is no longer producing the Powertools CD, so I am
still offering the 7.1 Powertools CD for a limited time.
(the 7.1 Powertools CD is NOT updated with the latest errata)

BSware PRO is on hold indefinitely.  SGI only has "test" 
kernels for Redhat 7.2 with XFS support, and I haven't seen 
a 7.2 installer yet.  I am also considering dropping BSware
PRO all together since it's a real pain to keep updated.

A quick summary of new features in 7.2:

  =>GNOME 1.4 with Nautilus file manager
  =>Improved and upgraded installer
  =>New graphical tools
  =>ext3 Journaling File System
  =>Increased device support
