Sagi,
Yes, RH 6.2 is unsupported for about 4 months.
I see few ways for upgrading /replacing RH6.2 servers :
1) use RHEL 2.1; you can buy RHEL WS (with sendmail/apache) for just 179$ ; you will pay ~$80 per year/per machine for updates [I suggest this way]
2) use Debian
3) dw kernel/apache/sendmail/.... patches from according sites, compile and install them

PS: well, many people believe they may use RHEL (and RHEL updates) for free.
Hi,
RedHat recently issued a new policy regarding their free (or nowcommunity) 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 arestill 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?
