Red Hat Announces Product EOL Calendar
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 :)
Better go and announce the KDE 3.1 release text that various people already sent you.
first post!
Redhat erratas YOU!

Ok, RedHAT is a great OS, but I Think the best Linux distribution is FreeBSD. I tried FreeBSD the other day and its very stable, very fast, on my Pentium 200 feels like a Pentium III with Windows XP! Also FreeBSD support old versions for long time (5.0 is out but they still make 4.8 for extra stability). I hope RedHAT finds the truth
Under the Brim reads YOU, eh!
Clippy , the charming personal Microsoft Office assistant, told me I should kill Steve Jobs and then eat both my own legs. But all I want to do is type a letter. Should I follow its instructions?

Dear Generic Cubicle Slave,
I was getting this message myself, whenever I tried to important an OLE database from Microsoft SQL Server into PowerPoint XP. So I decided to email the Microsoft Office design team, asking them about our little problem. Last night, I received this response:
Wow! It seems like those Microsoft XP guys are serious! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to stuff Larry Ellison (and my right forearm) into a stump grinder. See ya next week!Yours,
Dr. Fuck
What? Somebody modded me back up to 0??? What the hell? Am I losing my touch? Think of my self-respect as a troll! Somebody please get mad and mod me back down, I'm beggin' ya!

Product updates retire you!
I know, I know.
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...
Lazy fat-ass.
