<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Thank you for being a Red Hat Network customer.<BR><BR>This e-mail provides
you with important information about the upcoming<BR>discontinuation of Red Hat
Linux, and resources to assist you with your<BR>migration to another Red Hat
solution.<BR><BR>As previously communicated, Red Hat will discontinue
maintenance and<BR>errata support for Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 as of
December <BR>31, 2003. Red Hat will discontinue maintenance and errata support
for <BR>Red Hat Linux 9 as of April 30, 2004. Red Hat does not plan to release
<BR>another product in the Red Hat Linux line.<BR><BR>With the recent
announcement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.3, you'll<BR>find migrating to
Enterprise Linux appealing. We understand <BR>that transitioning to
another Red Hat solution requires careful planning <BR>and implementation.
We have created a migration plan for Red Hat Network <BR>customers to help make
the transition as simple and seamless as <BR>possible.
Details:<BR><BR>****************<BR>If you purchase Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS
or ES Basic before February<BR>28, 2004, you will receive 50% off the price for
two years.[*] (That's two<BR>years for the price of
one.)<BR><BR>****************<BR>In addition, we have created a Red Hat Linux
Migration Resource Center<BR>to address your migration planning and other
questions, such as:<BR><BR>* What are best practices for implementing the
migration to Red Hat<BR> Enterprise Linux?<BR><BR>* Are there other
migration alternatives?<BR><BR>* How do I purchase Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS
or ES Basic at the price<BR> above?<BR><BR>* What if my paid subscription
to RHN extends past April 30, 2004?<BR><BR>****************<BR><BR>Find out more
about your migration options with product comparisons,<BR>whitepapers and
