This raises a very interesting point... RedHate will no longer support any of
their existing distros after June 2004. How many tens (hundreds?) of
thousands of RH servers are out there? Will there no longer be patches for
these servers beyond end-of-life? How many admins are going to migrate to
another distro in disgust? It looks to me af if RHAT is going to lose a lot
of its userbase. I for one would not consider purchasing any "enterprise"
product.

Does anyone have data on this?
