Red Hat will stop producing patches/support for Red Hat 9 on April 30, 2004. So you won't be able to get the patches/updates from Red Hat. You can probably still get some updates from the other places listed, but won't probably be as cleanly applied as they would be if they were from Red Hat. Since you are on Red Hat you could look at either Fedora or RHEL, since you only have 3 months of support left for the RH 9. Dan Quoting Leonard Miller <Leonard.Miller () udlp com>:
To my knowledge, they will support that for another year before completely stopping support. But then you should still be able to get any updates from apt-get, sourceforge or rpmfind. Since you already have RH9, you might as well stick with it. We have several RH8 machines and do not plan on moving away from them just because RH stopped supporting. We'll keep them until they die.

I have a lot of experience with Win32 Snort (ACID and Demarc) but none with Linux. What would be the best distro to use for this project? I have redhat 9.0 on hand but I was told its no longer supported, obviously I would like to secure this box properly, without RedHat support is it still possible to download patches? Thanks for any advice given, Robert ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
