Possibly the funniest software release ever.

Subject: Announcing a beta release of Red Hat Linux: Phoebe

From: Bill Nottingham <notting at redhat.com>

 "You know, Chandler, you being here is the best gift I could
  ask for Christmas."

 "Aww. Thanks Pheebs."

 "Ok, now where's my real present?"

Red Hat, Inc. has a holiday gift for you - PHOEBE, a new
beta release of Red Hat Linux.

PHOEBE is 6 CDs of software (3 binary, 3 source), including, among
other things:
 - the latest in bleeding-edge desktop and XFree86 technology
 - Mozilla 1.2.1, with Xft antialiased fonts
 - glibc-2.3.1, with the new Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL),
   for performant and scalable threading

PHOEBE is, of course, not intended for use on mission critical
or other production systems.

As always, we do not recommend the use of beta software on mission
critical or production systems. In fact, we may laugh at those who
try. Problems with PHOEBE should be reported via bugzilla, at:

 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla

PHOEBE can be found at redhat.com. Specifically:
