Red Hat Announces Product EOL Calendar

Posted by timothy on from the but-it's-not-forever dept.

BrunoC writes "Looks like Red Hat is getting a little Microsoftish and is quietly introducing its brand new 12-month-only Errata. Quoting The Reg: 'Red Hat's current death list EOLs RH 7.1-8.0 at the end of this year, while 6.2 and 7.0 get theirs as of the end of March.' You can read the whole article here." I don't see how this is "Microsoftish" -- the code Red Hat creates or includes is still GPL, and you can pay anyone willing to fix it. They're not required to support it forever :)

    Hahah. Not sure if that was "humerous" or a troll...

    Why did you put, in bold, the letters g, O, O, and k? Are you calling people gook's? For someone calling the 'M$' people childish (I agree on that point) that seems pretty immature...

    Like, my development box...I won't upgrade anything on it unless someone else has been running the upgrade for a while. That's what junior developers are for anyway. That and doughnuts.

    Lazy fat-ass.
