Sagi, Yes, RH 6.2 is unsupported for about 4 months.
I see few ways for upgrading /replacing RH6.2 servers : 1) use RHEL 2.1; you can buy RHEL WS (with sendmail/apache) for just 179$ ; you will pay ~$80 per year/per machine for updates [I suggest this way] 2) use Debian 3) dw kernel/apache/sendmail/.... patches from according sites, compile and install them Regards, Vitaly Karasik PS: well, many people believe they may use RHEL (and RHEL updates) for free. >Hi, >RedHat recently issued a new policy regarding their free (or now community) versions of Red Hat. >One of the main changes is that the lifetime of the free versions is now only 1 year - they say they will not release any >>errata for those versions, even not if you subscribe to RHN. >You can get more information about this here: http://www.redhat.com/software/whichlinux.html >I'm in charge of many servers running free redhat, some of them are still running RedHat 6.x. >It's understandable that 6.x now becomes supported, but this policy means that even the 7.3 version (which many of us still >install on new servers) will not be supported in few months! >I decided to install debian on new servers, but the question is - what should I (and the rest of the users running those >versions of redhat - and there are many, many of them) do? >I also wonder if redhat really won't release security updates for those machines - it means that if a new hole is found it >can leave hundreds of thousands of machines without an official software update. >So, what the rest of you are doing? >Sagi *********************************************************************************** Information contained in this email message is intended only for use of the individual or entity named above.
