Progeny To Offer Support For Red Hat 8.0 and 9

zerocool^ writes "In a previous story it was noted that Progeny would offer support to Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3 customers facing an End of Life deadline of 31 December 2003. Progeny has updated their 'transitional software' offerings to include support for Red Hat 8.0 and 9 for $5 per month, per machine. This is great news for IT folks who are faced with the choice of a new OS or abandoned 1-year-old software."

What integrity?

Who says they have maintained any integrity. My company won't do business with them, ever. Wait another 6 months to see how their bottom line is doing, and you can see what other companies think of them. Personally, I think that they screwed the pooch on this one. What company is going to spend many thousands of dollars in up front costs, training, and time with a company that decided to suddenly drop support for their product not even a year later? It'd be one thing if they were a well-established company. As is, they were still in start-up mode. I personally don't expect them to recover from this one.

You must be new here. If you say anything anti-linux (even if true), you will get modded down. Likewise, if you say anything pro-MS, even (especially?) if true, you will get modded down.

You did BOTH, so I think they are going to send slashdot geeks to your house to kill your sister and rape your cat.
