| 189365 | 2003-11-05 07:43:00 | Red Hat maintenance and support for Red Hat linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 will end as of 31st December 2003, and for Red Hat 9 as of 30th April 2004. "Red Hat does not plan to release another product in the Red Hat Linux line," says the 'you're fired' email sent out to The Register's Red Hat Network account yesterday. Red Hat Linux channels will remain open for six months after the product's end of life date, but no new errata will be posted after EOL, and no Red Hat Network support accounts could be bought or renewed as of yesterday. So it's very dead, very soon, and Red Hat is now about Red Hat Enterprise and... Fedora. More here: www.theregister.co.uk |

But as far as us open source enthusiasts go it is not dead - RH lives on in Fedora . Have you seen the other big news of the day - Novell is to buy SuSE with a $50m backing from IMB - see . com . com/2100-7344-5101680 . html" target="_blank">news . com . com John |

| 189367 | 2003-11-05 08:15:00 | As a current Red Hat user, I have been following the Red Hat - Fedora business with interest. You can also get more information on Fedora from here: Fedora (http://fedora.redhat.com/) The following table compares The Fedora Project with: Red Hat Enterprise Linux. (fedora.redhat.com) I will be going with Fedora shortly myself - it looks like it will be quite good :D |

| 189369 | 2003-11-05 09:02:00 | Interestingly enough, there is a Fedora folder at ftp://ftp.wicks.co.nz/pub/linux/dist - but it's empty. | agent (30) | ||
| 189370 | 2003-11-05 09:04:00 | Fedora was going to be released on the 3rd November, but they have this to say under their schedule: Fedora Core 1 / Cambridge November 3 2003 - General Availability Delayed due to respin for several days, will be available as soon as possible. |

| 189372 | 2003-11-06 00:50:00 | It's not dead. :D The software doesn't stop working, just because the manufacturer has withdrawn support. I've got W3.11, DR Dos 6, OS/2 Warp 3 and 4. :D I've even got (somewhere) a box which runs DOS which it boots from a ROM. I've got CP/M. Who needs support? B-) |

B-) Snap!! Got my warp 4 on an 2000 APC mag CD, along with RH 6.2 and BeOS PE. Still looking for a box set of OS2 v4 cheap though;). |
