Symantec and RHEL 3 support 2006-05-10 - By Ed Wilts
Back
For those of you using Symantec products, you may be interested in a
thread that I started on the veritas-bu list on how lousy Symantec's
commitment is to Linux. In particular, Symantec is dropping RHEL 3
support with NetBackup 6.5 targeted for release in February, 3.5 years
before Red Hat is dropping support for RHEL 3 while at the same time
continuing to support Win2K which was released 3.5 years before RHEL 3
and will be unsupported by Microsoft before RHEL 3 is unsupported by Red
Hat.

I believe that customer pressure is the only thing that will change
Symantec's mind. If you run or are interested in running Symantec
products on Linux, talk to your sales rep and get Symantec to wake up
and smell the coffee.
