To clear this up, I've just got off the phone with Red Hat. They're retracting their earlier claim that this will be supported with the same life-cycle as RHEL. In fact, they went so far as to tell me they didn't know how long it would be at all, although the best guess probably is around 1 year. Grrr. Oh well, I guess I can scratch Pro Workstation from my product offerings. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
