#REDHAT LINUX 5 END OF LIFE SOFTWARE#

вЂњThey invested a lot of money packaging software and a kernel they didnвЂ™t program by themselves and now (enter capitalism) YOU pay for it. Who cares about a bad reputation that is based on unreasonableness? I mean, if you are a sysadmin and you somehow think that Red Hat *owes* you something for nothing, then why the hell should Red Hat care about that? The only вЂњpublic opinionвЂќ that matters is (A) Does Red Hat have a good product and (B) Is the price worth the value.

вЂњRedHat might give a final support for plenty of production systems, otherwise they will gain a bad reputation with the sysadmins that are going to be troubled by the end of lifeвЂ¦вЂќ Otherwise, shut up and quit the socialist, do good-er, вЂњcommunityвЂќ crapola. If you think the price of the product is higher than itвЂ™s value, then donвЂ™t buy it. If you donвЂ™t like the product, then donвЂ™t buy it. Since when does making a product, and then selling it to make money, require a sacrifice to the вЂњpublic goodвЂќ or the вЂњcommunityвЂќ? It never has, and it never will. Why should Red Hat sacrifice their time and money by providing a service free? If all you have for your answer is some notions about the вЂњpublic goodвЂќ or the вЂњgoodwill of the communityвЂќ, then your point stands on unreasonable grounds.

ItвЂ™s not Red HatвЂ™s problem if sysadmins are going to be troubled by the upcoming EOL for security/bug patches. If you donвЂ™t like it, move to Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, or China, where youвЂ™ll be sure to get your daily вЂњrice bowlвЂќ rations. Red Hat invests a lot of work into creating a product, and they expect people to pay money for it. Those of you who feel entitled to something, get a clue. вЂњErr, RH would be out of a product if they did, considering the kernal, DE and most off the apps are written by вЂSocialists, public вЂdo good-ersвЂ™.вЂќ
