Article title: RedHat announced that enterprise Linux6 will no longer support cert. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
According to a public statement, RedHat's next-generation operating system Enterprise Linux 6 will no longer support Intel's Itanium Anta processor. RedHat's current "Enterprise Linux 5" also supports IBM Power processor-based servers, System z servers, and S/390 processor architectures.
Chris Ingle, head of IDC research at a well-known market research institute, said it would be wise for RedHat to give up support for the Anteng processor, especially from the perspective of economic interests. For RedHat, the server sales based on Aiteng are not that ideal. it is not enough for RedHat to develop a new Enterprise Linux system for this processor, and its focus is on x86 servers.
According to IDC, Red Hat does not differ for general users because the original device manufacturer already provides sufficient technical support.
Red Hat said that Enterprise Linux 5 will continue to support Intel's Apsara-based servers, and Red Hat will still provide technical support to users by 2014. According to the standard product lifecycle policy, RedHat will continue to add new features to Enterprise Linux 5 on the server and support more hardware products.
