Re: [nv-l] RedHat drops support for various LINUX products.

Supported versions are listed in the Release Notes for whatever level you have.  That too changes.

Some time ago the LINUX support team at the company I work for informed me
of RedHat's intention to drop support for older versions of LINUX. I opened
a case with IBM and they told me that IBM knew nothing of it. RedHat
announced this today. Has anyone on the list received any information from
IBM as to what versions of LINUX will be supported by NetView.

In an email to Red Hat Network customers, the company has announced today
that it "...will discontinue maintenance and errata support for Red Hat
Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 as of December 31, 2003," that "Red Hat will
discontinue maintenance and errata support for Red Hat Linux 9 as of April
30, 2004," and that "Red Hat does not plan to release another product in
the Red Hat Linux line." This should not come as a surprise to NewsForge
regulars who saw this story on October 23, but less-prepared Red Hat users
seem shocked by the idea.
