Red Hat has officially stopped supporting all consumer releases prior to RHL 9. However, on occasion, they *may* release an errata that is applicable to a previous version. They've done it before, and they've it in this case. You must not rely on this - a future errata may be applicable only to RHL 9 and can't be applied to a previous version without some serious hacking. If you need support, you should consider one of the many alternatives that have been discussed on this list for many months. You have many to choose from: Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Professional Workstation, and Progeny Legacy support. We can't answer which is right for you without a lot more information. In some rare cases, Red Hat may not be the right answer for you at all depending on your specific requirements and abillities. This announcement is neither sudden nor recent. At least as far back as December 19, 2002, the 7.3 EOL date was announced as December 31, 2003. http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-watch-list/2002-December/msg00008.html > Anyway thanks for the info, where about did you get this on the site so I > can use for future reference. I strongly suggest that all Red Hat Linux users subscribe to the redhat-watch-list to get security-related information. http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-watch-list -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
