This is the 6-Month notification for the retirement of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Extended Update Support (EUS).
Description
In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy, Extended Update Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 will be retired on December 31, 2013, and support will no longer be provided. Accordingly, Red Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including critical impact security patches or urgent priority bug fixes, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 EUS after that date. In addition, after December 31, 2013, technical support through Red Hat's Global Support Services will no longer be provided.
Note: This notification applies only to those customers subscribed to the Extended Update Support (EUS) channel for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2.
We encourage customers to plan their migration from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 to a more recent version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. As a benefit of the Red Hat subscription model, customers can use their active subscriptions to entitle any system on a currently supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 release (6.3, or 6.4, for which EUS is available).
