[SLUG] Red Hat discontinues maintenance and errata support
Red Hat has announced it will discontinue maintenance and errata support for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 as of December 31, 2003. Red Hat will also discontinue maintenance and errata support for Red Hat Linux 9 as of April 30, 2004. Red Hat does not plan to release another product in the Red Hat Linux line. Instead, Red Hat will now sell the box-set of Red Hat Linux which now becomes Red Hat Enterprise Linux in three flavours: WS (workstation, what we now use mostly), ES (the stuff we use now on steroids), and AS (advanced server). The Red Hat Linux we know and love will supposedly become Fedora. But how Fedora is linked to Red Hat Linux is another question. So far, all that I have read says that it will replace Red Hat's RPM's. Linux is not mentioned. The announced pricing is as follows: RHLE WS (Linux 3) x86 basic $US179 standard $US299 Itanium,AMD64 --- standard $US792 RHLE ES x86 basic $US349 standard $US799 RHLE AS x86 basic $US1499 premium $US2499 Itanium,AMD64,IBM basic $US1992 premium $US2998 IBM series basic $US15000 premium $US18000 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
