Red Hat Starts Phasing Out For-Free Linux
In statements posted on its Web site, Red Hat said it will end support for Linux versions 7.1 through 8.0 at the end of this year, and put a stop to support for its most recent Linux, version 9.0, on April 30, 2004.
Red Hat wants those customers to migrate to its Enterprise Linux editions -- AS for the largest companies, ES for small- and mid-sized businesses, and WS for individual workstations -- which range in price from $179 for Enterprise Linux WS to $18,000 for Enterprise Linux AS.
Another option, said Red Hat, for companies using Linux in non-critical environments, is its Fedora Project, a program targeting developers that offers Linux as a free download.
