So, if I set up a server with RHEL 5.5 or CentOS 5.4 today,
I would only get updates until 14-Mar-2012, if the life
time is reduced to 5 years?
That's less than two years.
That's a bit too short lifetime for my servers.
Yes of course, I can upgrade to RHEL 6 when it comes out,
but my reason for paying Red Hat is to avoid the upgrade.
