Description Mark J. Cox 2011-01-12 14:34:17 UTC

Low: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 - 1-Year End Of Life Notice

This is the 1-year notification of the End Of Life plans for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy, the
regular 7 year life-cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will end on February 29
2012.

After this date, Red Hat will discontinue the regular subscription services
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Therefore, new bug fix, enhancement, and
security errata updates, as well as technical support services will no
longer be available for the following products:

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras 4
* Red Hat Desktop 4
* Red Hat Global File System 4
* Red Hat Cluster Suite 4

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Subscriptions are version-independent and allow
access to all major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, that are
currently supported within their regular 7-year life-cycle. Therefore
customers retain access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. There are no additional upgrade fees when moving from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to any of these newer releases.

For customers who are unable to migrate off Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Red
Hat may offer a limited, optional extension program referred to as RHEL 4
Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS). For more information, contact your Red
Hat sales representative or channel partner on this program. Additionally
you can find more information on this program here:
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/extended_lifecycle_support/

Details of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux life-cycle can be found on the Red
Hat website: http://access.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/
