    From the Inq:

    RED HAT has told its customers that it will no longer support a version of Linux for the desktop, signalling that it believes its enterprise products stand more chance of bringing in the shekels.

    The firm emailed its customers yesterday, saying that it will discontinue maintenance and errata support for RHL 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 8.0 from December the 31st this year.

    Full story here

    Not the best news for all you Red titfer's out there. But there's always other distro's, and I'm sure a victim support group will form very quickly. ;)
