LVS List,
This is what I read and heard today:
Red Hat has not ended the life of Linux from Red Hat,
but merely shifted away from support of FREE Linux.
Red Hat still offers Linux as Enterprise WS, Server,
and AS which you can buy. Red Hat Advanced Server has
the Piranha/LVS product in it. You can go to the
Fedora Project http://fedora.redhat.com (which
combines Red Hat Linux Project) for free Linux which
Red Hat engineers still work on, with the community,
but do not support. Don't ask me if that is the
RAWHIDE or not, I do not know. However, as of Dec
2003, Red Hat Linux 7.2/7.3/8.0 will be no more, and
as of April 2004 no more 9.0. But you can still buy
Red Hat's other Linux product line.
Alternatives... Novell announced today it will buy
SUSE, the company, and its Linux distribution. Also
lots of other great Linux distros. I both read and
heard the announcement as a webcast, and it sounds
good, Novell is trying to make sure the Linux
community know they are serious about Linux, and SUSE
will be kept as-is, but with tremendous support from
Novell. Also, IBM invested 50 mil to Novell for this.

(We use Piranha where I work, so this has been on our
minds today, too.)
