Red Hat Linux 9 Reaches End-of-Life
egburr writes "Well, today is the last day for Red Hat Linux 9. The Fedora Legacy Project is supposed to start legacy support. I am still planning to stick with RHL9, for a while at least. How many others are planning to do the same? How many are switching to Fedora? How many are switching to some other distribution altogether? How many have already switched? For people still using earlier levels of Red Hat Linux (6.x,7.x,8), how well has the Fedora Legacy Project worked for you?"
So did Marc Ewing ever get his hat back, or was the whole enterprise a failure?
Yes but only when the sun isn't up. RH9 server of the undead.

I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. I'm naked in the dark. There's nothing - no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my waking eyes.
I'm glad to be with you, Redhat 9... here, at the end of all things.
You cannot always be torn in two, RH. You must be one and a whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy, and to be, and to do...

Not a good idea (at least not in my experience and that was on a non-production box). I had countless conflicts, unresolved dependancies and general mess. And that was just installing the Fedora artwork :-\
fedora is good for set it and forget it,
Coincidentally, so is the Ronco Shotime indoor rotisserie and BBQ.
Switch to NT4.0, still patched and supported, from 1996.
So much for who actually tries to force upgrades on you.
You left off SCO UnixWare!
...at least that is what this lawyer is trying to tell me.
Didn't you know...
"SCO UnixWare® is the solution for companies who place a high value on the scalability, reliability and security inherent in the UNIX® technology, but don't want the vendor lock-in or high server costs associated with proprietary platforms."
"As a home user I'm not overly concerned about security patches and the like either, so I will be sticking with Fedora for the moment"
Are you the asshole that keeps scanning my net from your r00ted box?
P.S. I own a small company and guess what Enterprise OS flavor is at the bottom of my list for evaluation.
Windows?
Hopefully Windows isn't even on his list. He did say "enterprise" after all.
