["William H. Magill" <magill mcgillsociety org>]

I'm surprised that this list hasn't mentioned these two developments ...

"As previously communicated, Red Hat will discontinue maintenance and
errata support for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 as of December
31, 2003. Red Hat will discontinue maintenance and errata support for
Red Hat Linux 9 as of April 30, 2004. Red Hat does not plan to release
another product in the Red Hat Linux line."

Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux continues.
