red hat enterprise linux life cycle extended to ten years
It’s all over the internet that RHEL6 and newer releases will have a life cycle of 10yrs. This is pretty good news for projects that are deploying systems that have a lifetime of 5yrs or more. Namely Digital Preservation projects, not having to worry about migration between point releases of an operating system platform reduces time and costs. I’m now more likely to target the systems we develop in work towards a RHEL system (or a RHEL like clone).
