Red Hat has offered and does offer concurrent Tech Previews and releases, Z-stream Extended Update Service/Support (EUS) for older packages of select Enterprise Linux releases and even special product channels that can offer newer versions for select software (productivity/office, LAMP stack, etc...). Red Hat has offered these when customer demand meets support feasibility. However, in the case of the original poster, I would recommend they consider Red Hat professional services, such as consultants and/or a TAM. The cycle of engineering and product release is not something taken lightly, and it takes many months and years at times. -- Bryan J Smith Professional, Technical Annoyance Linked Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith ------------------------------------------------------------ "Now if you own an automatic ... sell it!
