RedHAT Updates
As RH will be phasing out its updates/ bug fixes for older distros and eventually the last one in the line RH 9 too , I was looking for a solution and bumped to this link
http://www.pantek.com/linux.php?subsect=rhupdates
This is a paid service, this company ( PANTEK ) will monitor major lists / updates o packages for your systems and will send out rpms to update them , just as redhat errata system. This company charges 120$ / yr for this service and boasts to roll out the security / update patch within 5 days of announcement. Thats pretty cheap for all of us who dont want to give their RH servers / systems away!
Hope companies like these make RH change their policy about updates.

Here is another one for the same.
This service does come at a monetary price. Progeny is tagging this service at US$5 per machine per month or a flat rate of US$2,500 per month for unlimited machines.

jargon,
There's a reason why NT 4 (released in 1996 AFAIK) is still supported by MS. There are orgs out there who are still on NT4. Upgrading to a new version is impossible for even a very small company (as little as 10 seats). Let's say you're a company who's deployed Oracle on Linux. You have 2 choices.

- UnitedLinux
- Redhat 7.3
- Upgrade to 8 and lose support from Oracle
- Stay on 7.3 and receive updates from a 3rd party

Dear Jargon,
Salam,
Fawad is right that we have to think what we need there are companies who run softwares in their I.T Department and it is not Possible to move from one Distro to another Distro
Best Regards.

I don't know what you are trying to point out.... but i think there is a lot of difference between OpenSource and Micro$oft....If they stop supporting Windows NT 4.0 then what is the relation ship between Red Hat Linux and Windows NT 4.0jargon wrote:Actually, Microsoft officially stopped supporting NT 4 this past year.
Its a crazy idea to use NT 4 in this day and age.
