OK, June 1, so you get 1 month of RHEL instead of 6. >> As explained in the FAQ, you have access to RHEL for the remaining >> months. >> > > Yes I could, but at what cost. Cost to get RHEL? None. Cost in changing your existing machines to RHEL? The same probably that it would cost to transition to RHL 10 (if it existed). Probably the same that it would cost to move to a different distro, if that is what you decided to do. I have no pity for anyone who has waited this long to decide what to do when RHL 9 goes EOL. Red Hat has provided RHEL (and even one month evaluations for users who don't have access via RHN) for testing. Red Hat has kept their end of the bargain on RHL 9 support, even though the RHL line is ending. Red Hat offered half price deals for two years on RHEL WS and ES. Red Hat has changed the RHN support of RHPW so that it is now renewable. Anyone that says (and what started my involvement in this thread) that they didn't know RHL 9's EOL was coming up has had their head in the sand for longer than RHL 9 has been out. -- William Hooper
