    No more free/supported RedHat Linux...

    ...after April 30, 2004.

    As previously communicated, Red Hat 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 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.

    With the recent announcement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3, you'll find migrating to Enterprise Linux appealing. We understand that transitioning to another Red Hat solution requires careful planning and implementation. We have created a migration plan for Red Hat Network customers to help make the transition as simple and seamless as possible. Details:

            yeah, i used redhat 7.1 for a few months on a workstation, and it was the most vile excuse of an OS i've ever used.

            ok, it wasn't _that_ bad, i just really didn't like it at all.

            suckhat came out from the very beginning with a truly "commercial" line about it. then, they started selling it and i knew it was all downhill.

            i'll give them credit tho, a 3-year-old could use it, install it, and install apps on it. faster than with windows.

                It's finally official, it's now "DeadRat". FreeBSD was and always will be the only choice.

                      It looks like I'll be switching to FreeBSD next year. Oh well.

                        damn. imagine all the webhosting companies... dedicated servers... colocated machines... this is pretty fucked up to say the least.
