Well, I'll be gaining ext3 journalling, better printer subsystem support, etc. So, upgrading a server is sometimes warranted. > Or does it also reach a point when updates for an older version of, for > example, Redhat will stop being released? RH only issues security updates to 7.x. Don't know when they'll stop. I support when 9.x come out.

Or is this a wrong concept? The mere fact that you're considering switching from Windows to Linux is an upgrade. People say that Linux is not vapor-ware. For me it is, that's why it's so exciting and evolving at a pace that is making Microsoft's head spin. I can't wait till a new RH comes out so I can go out and upgrade my customers and make some money. -eric wood -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
