"This is the 6-month notification of the End Of Life plans for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
the regular 7 year life cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will end
on February 29, 2012.

After this date, Red Hat will discontinue the regular subscription
services for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Therefore, new bug fix,
enhancement, and security errata updates, as well as technical support
services will no longer be available for the following products :

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 * Red
Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Extras 4 * Red
Hat Desktop 4 * Red Hat Global File System 4 * Red Hat Cluster Suite 4

Customers still running production workloads on Red Hat Enterprise

Enterprise Linux 5 or 6. Active subscribers of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux already have access to all currently maintained versions of Red
