LWN article about us

[Benjamin Smith]

I have numerous RedHat 7.2 and 9 servers being supported by Progeny through 
the end of 2005. 

My biggest concern is Fedora Core 1 - I have about a dozen servers which all 
the several un-patched vulnerabilities metioned in the LWN article. 

I've more or less decided to switch to Whitebox Linux in April (ish) or when 
WBEL 4.0 comes out, whichever happens sooner. 

I'd be happy to pay a reasonable monthly fee (Progeny charges $5/mo) if I 
could be reasonably certain that updates would be timely. At this point, I 
have no support options for the FC1 systems except for recompiling, which 
opens up its own can of worms and increases support costs sharply.
