RHEL 6 No Longer Supported By Google Chrome

sfcrazy writes "Google has declared Red Hat's RHEL 6 obsolete, showing a notification which says, 'Google Chrome us no longer updating because your operating system is obsolete.' Red Hat evangelist Jan Wilderboer says: 'We release new stable versions of RHEL every 2-3 years. The API/ABI stability is what sets it apart from community distros. Customers need long term stability. Google knows (and uses) that itself internally. By cutting the support of enterprise distributions they simply tell me to move elsewhere. That's not a very encouraging thing.'"

    I want a stable, Free server OS, but I want to load a frequently updated, proprietary, state-of-the-art browser on it with infinite backward compatibility! And I want it now!!! Frickin' whiner.
