[NBLUG/talk] RH Linux 2/28/04 "hot deals"

Hi,

I received the following e-mail from Red Hat saying that I could have "2 years for the price of one" of their new ES Linux.  It looks like one would be "renting" the OS from RH?  Anybody have any thoughts on this RH offer?  Good, bad, so what?  I was thinking of getting SuSE 9.0 Pro (very good reviews) from Amazon for $65.  Any thoughts on SuSE?  Or is Fedora really RH 10 with rough edges and the best way to go? 

Thanks,
Harry

Thank you for being a Red Hat Network customer.

This e-mail provides you with important information about the upcoming
discontinuation of Red Hat Linux, and resources to assist you with your
migration to another Red Hat solution.

As previously communicated, Red Hat will discontinue maintenance and
errata support for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 as of December 
31, 2003. Red Hat will discontinue maintenance and errata support for 
Red Hat Linux 9 as of April 30, 2004. Red Hat does not plan to release 
another product in the Red Hat Linux line.

With the recent announcement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3, you'll
find migrating to Enterprise Linux appealing.  We understand 
that transitioning to another Red Hat solution requires careful planning 
and implementation.  We have created a migration plan for Red Hat Network 
customers to help make the transition as simple and seamless as 
possible. Details:

****************
If you purchase Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS or ES Basic before February
28, 2004, you will receive 50% off the price for two years.[*] (That's two
years for the price of one.)

****************
In addition, we have created a Red Hat Linux Migration Resource Center
to address your migration planning and other questions, such as:

* What are best practices for implementing the migration to Red Hat
  Enterprise Linux?

* Are there other migration alternatives?

* How do I purchase Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS or ES Basic at the price
  above?

* What if my paid subscription to RHN extends past April 30, 2004?

****************

whitepapers and documentation at the Red Hat Linux Migration Resource 
Center:
