We have a lot of servers running SuSE 8.0 Professional. I know updates and patches are no longer available from SuSE for versions 7.3 and earlier but I don't remember when that will run out for 8.0. I searched the mail archives and SuSE website but haven't found any information. Does any one know where I can find information on SuSE Product Life Cycles?
Each SuSE release (not the enterprise ones) seem to be supported for 2 years. SuSE Professional 8.0 was released on April 22 2002.. http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux02/SuSE_Linux_8-0_announced_story-01.html
So I'm guessing support for that release will not be available after April 2004.
P.S. Questions like this probably belong on the suse-linux-e mailing list.
Thanks for the information. I posted to the suse-linux-e mailing list first and everyone there had the same idea that support was for two years but know one seemed to have the initial release date. After searching Google, I found that the official announcement from SuSE had been posted to this list, http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security-announce/2003-Dec/0004.html, so I thought posting here might get the official word released.
