Distributors are often placed in the position of needing to support older releases than are supported by upstream. So no longer supported by upstream isn't the same as no longer supported. Personally, I don't get the RHEL/CentOS preference for ancient software, but that doesn't mean it's unsafe to use. The most important thing is knowing to go talk to your distributor if you have a problem in these cases because it's outside the window of what the upstream is paying attention to. Scott K
