Humm.. Even Red Hat is supporting RHEL releases longer than this. We use RHEL AS Release with full support.
Not correct. RHEL is on RHEL 4 update 2. If you run up2date -fu, you will get the full updates. Follow that with a cat /etc/redhat-release and it will confirm thusly (note we use ES, not AS, but same applies):
[jperrin@xxxx ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 2) [jperrin@xxxx ~]$
it's the major version number that has the support, not the minor.
Does this mean if Red Hat comes out with more updates for RHEL 4.1 you will not apply them to Centos 4.1 any more?
All updates are being applied to the 4.2 tree now, just as upstream is applying them to AS4 update 2.
