To be fair you have to pay Red Hat *extra* if you want patches for the non-current RHEL release(s) and don't have premium support: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/22763 # Red Hat provides Extended Update Support(EUS) channels for # administrators who want to stay with one minor version of # the Base OS rather than upgrade to new versions with new # packages and new features on production systems. Beginning # with the 2013 Pricing and Packaging, the Red Hat Enterprise # Linux EUS subscription is included as part of Premium Support, # or may be purchased as an add-on subscription with Standard Support. -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
