The linux box sitting on my desk at work is running RHEL6 (which is really starting to get super annoying). My IT dept is just now starting to roll out RHEL7.

- mixmastamyk 8y agoOne place I worked for had a similar setup. I just installed the latest Ubuntu and ssh'd into nearby boxes when I needed something from them. No way I'd tolerate a desktop almost 10 years behind.
- billfruit 8y agoIn our place we still have boxes on Rhel 5, some even on Rhel 4. But Redhat did keep the things more or less the same visually over all these years, unlike Ubuntu which seems to change its look and feel bit too much.
- kokey 8y agoThat RHEL6 will still be supported with security and stability patches until 2020.
- spicyusername 8y agoPeople can be snarky at Red Hat for being slow, but this is the exact reason why. If your company has the engineering prowess to maintain the latest and greatest, that's great. Unfortunately most large enterprises just don't move at that velocity which is who Red Hat is trying to support.
