Jon Lasser, 2003-02-12

Red Hat and Mandrake are cutting support for older versions of their Linux distributions... The results will be a security nightmare for the Internet.

E.
I was kind of depressed to hear that my venerable RH 6.2 setup will no longer be supported. It's been the most stable OS/Configuration that I've ever used and I don't even remember half of the weird little tweaks that I've done to it to get it to work the way I want it to. Now I have to recreate my own wheel, or in this case, my own workstation. I'll never be able to get it right again and I can't imagine having to do this every year. I'm considering switching to Gentoo but I've heard it takes a year and day to setup a system from scratch. I guess I could accept that if it means I can use it for 3 or 4 years beyond that.
