Security Advisory Low: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 - End Of Life

This is the End Of Life notification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy, the
regular 7 year life-cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 has ended.

Red Hat has discontinued the regular subscription services
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. Therefore, new bug fix, enhancement, and
security errata updates, as well as technical support services are no
longer available for the following products:

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 3
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras 3
* Red Hat Desktop 3
* Red Hat Global File System 3
* Red Hat Cluster Suite 3

Servers subscribed to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 channels on the Red Hat
Network will shortly become unsubscribed. As a benefit of the Red Hat
subscription model, those subscriptions can be used to entitle any system on
any currently supported release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Subscriptions are version-independent and allow
access to all major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, that are currently
supported within their regular 7-year life cycle. Therefore customers retain
access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 and soon to be released 6. There are no
additional upgrade fees when moving from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 to any of
these newer releases.

For customers who are unable to migrate off Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, Red Hat
is offering a limited, optional extension program referred to as RHEL 3
Extended Life Cycle Support (ELS). For more information, contact your Red Hat
sales representative or channel partner on this program.   Additionally you can
find more information on this program here:
