It is available at http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 May 31, 2005 Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Psyche) December 31, 2003 Red Hat Linux 7.3 (Valhalla) December 31, 2003 Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma) December 31, 2003 Red Hat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf) December 31, 2003 Red Hat Linux 7.0 (Guinness) March 31, 2003 Red Hat Linux 6.2 (Zoot) March 31, 2003 However, it is also stated that "at certain times, Red Hat may extend errata maintenance for certain popular releases of the operating system." Anotherwords, of 50% of RHN subscribers are still running RH 7.3, they probably won't pull support on all those users. But, also, keep in mind that RH has been putting out two releases a year (commonly around Q2 and Q4). By the time 7.1-8.0 support expires they will have already released RH 8.2 and RH 8.1 will have been out for over 6 months. It is likely that the number of 7.3/8.0 customers on RHN will have greatly reduced by that date. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
