I guess we'll find out soon. One thing about the press release that really bothered me was: "Currently, Red Hat only provides bug fixes for the latest version of its software. This often requires customers to upgrade to a new version of Linux software to get a bug fixed." This is untrue. Redhat will continue to support RHEL 2 and 3 for some time to come. In fact I think Oracle only supported RHEL 3 before anyway. > > Jacob Fugal > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
