Probably the same month after the FTP version of 9.3 or whatever is released, if they follow the same method as for 8.1.

Having provided security-relevant fixes for more than two years, vulnerabilities found in SUSE Linux 8.1 after January 31st 2005 will not be fixed any more for this product. ... -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Cheers Carlos. I thought it was 2 years after the release date, which I can't remember. I suppose when 9.3 is released, it's time to upgrade. -- http://www.snowblink.co.uk/

Both dates should be about the same time. I mean, they guarantee two years, but the exact date is at some point after the release of the period, and thus, unknown in advance. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I notice that the base 8.2 has been removed from mirrors recently.....ouch! Are there archive 8.x copies available? Berni

SuSE Pro 9.0 is the one I hope they support for longer than 2 years. It was the last of the 2.4 kernel and I imagine it still has a large install base. I know my fileserver at work is still based on 9.0 because I have not wanted to change kernels yet. Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

I don't think so. There is a large installed base of 7.3 still... and it is not mantained either, more the pity :-( -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

This is not the case, all box distributions currently have a lifetime of 2 years. For longer lifetimes we recommend our Enterprise Server line. SLES 8 is our 2.4 kernel based Enterprise Server. Ciao, Marcus

If suse is moving 8.2 to the archives then suse must be getting ready to add 9.3 to the ftp servers, just my guess. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
