How many major distros support releases for 6 years?
- flmontpetit 1y agoFrom a quick search, Ubuntu LTS releases are supported for 5 years as a baseline, and Ubuntu Pro goes up to 12 years. RHEL releases are supported for 10 years. I'm guessing it's similar with SUSE and other "business" distros.
- carlwgeorge 1y agoUbuntu Pro and RHEL are both 10 years for their standard lifecycle, with optional add-ons to go longer. Ubuntu's is called "Legacy Support" to get an extra 2 years, RHEL's is called "Extended Life-cycle Support" to get an extra 3-4 years. https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#server-desktop-eol-old https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#server-desktop-eol-ol... https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life_Cycle_Dates https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Life...
