I think part of Redhats motivation was the far too numerious requests for requests like:

When will redhat make rpms for kde3.1 for Redhat 7.3? And such.
Truth is, they won't. But people don't seem to get the picture. So they had to put an eol on there. I know, there are plentyof other reasons, but that's one of them.

I'm pretty sure there was a good reason for redhat to make life shorter for their releases. After all it is the only commercially successful distro. They wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot or in the head like that I'm positive they know what they're doing.

No serious admin. would install redhat in the first place. Especially redhat 8, which can't even compile the kernel it ships with.

Despite that, most American corporations will play along with Redhat, because in the end it still comes out much cheaper then dealing with Sun, SGI or HP and their unix headaches. They all do linux now anyway..
As for the rest of us there's Freebsd, Slackware, Gentoo or Debian, which are all here to stay even if the stock market seizes to exist.

Hi Keith,

Using HTTPS is much more secure than sending via post. I am also in the
UK, I have never been the victim of online fraud.  However before the
net revolution some one did charge my CC and it was refunded.  All
online CC have a garentee against fraud just like anything else.

MDK could support paypal etc, but I am sure that would still leave some
one out CC is still the best option.


I am pretty sure Deno set up a PayPal account for MandrakeSoft. It says to send payment to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on this page
