End of Life for Red Hat 7.x, 8.0

thelenm writes "Red Hat announced today that the 7.x and 8.0 distributions have reached their errata maintenance end-of-life. Red Hat 9 reaches its end-of-life on April 30. The options for those who want to stick with Red Hat are Red Hat Enterprise Linux or the Fedora Project, as described on their Migration Resource Center page. Or of course, you might take this opportunity to select another option." This day's been a long time coming, but it's finally here.

    Windows 98 = 8 years of support. I'd rather have 8 years of support for a buggy product than this.

    But the others are fucking faggots, too.

    It's bad enough that you chose Linux, why did you have to go with such a crap distro?

    nahh, it's just that us slackware users look at redhat users the same way as the custom hot rod builder looks at the minivan next to him at the stoplight trying to rev his engine...

    Slackware= power... not that silly fluffy stuff...
