 | | | RH Linux Enterprise version? | RH Linux Enterprise version? 2003-11-05 - By Steve Murphy
Back
The life cycle from what I know on the Enterprise versions is 5 years. I'm also
wondering about their philosophy. My 2 cents - RPM made many users dependent on
RH and they jumped versions very quick and now that everyone is on the band
wagon they are going to try and force everyone to pay and see if the dependence
on RPM is strong enough to hold the client base. If it does hold they will make
a huge profit, if it doesn't work I think you will see Fedora become RH 10.

I have no problem buying Red Hat. I've been buying it pretty-much all along.
My problem is that they have life-cycled their base distro's very short. How
long will I have support for EL or WS if I switch? This is what is
disturbing. Well, that and the fact that there seems to be a fundamental
shift in philosophy at Red Hat.
