RedHat recently issued a new policy regarding their free (or now community) versions of Red Hat.
One of the main changes is that the lifetime of the free versions is now only 1 year - they say they will not release any errata for those versions, even not if you subscribe to RHN.
You can get more information about this here: http://www.redhat.com/software/whichlinux.html
I'm in charge of many servers running free redhat, some of them are still running RedHat 6.x.
It's understandable that 6.x now becomes supported, but this policy means that even the 7.3 version (which many of us still install on new servers) will not be supported in few months!
I decided to install debian on new servers, but the question is - what should I (and the rest of the users running those versions of redhat - and there are many, many of them) do?
I also wonder if redhat really won't release security updates for those machines - it means that if a new hole is found it can leave hundreds of thousands of machines without an official software update.
So, what the rest of you are doing?
