Just curious... CentOS4 lifetime tracks RHEL4 somewhat... Since RedHat has announced LTS (Long Term Support) for RHEL4, are there plans to extend the CentOS 4 support window?

Red Hat does not publicly release the sources for their Long Term Support packages. They are not releasing the Long Term packages for EL3 now, they won't be doing it for EL4 either. Now, if they DID release them, then CentOS would produce them. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It's just as well in any case. Gives me some more leverage when I push to upgrade the 4.x systems...
