Topic

This is the final notification for the retirement of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.1 Extended Update Support (EUS).

Description

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
Extended Update Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 was retired on
May 31, 2013, and support is no longer 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 6.1 EUS.
In addition, technical support through Red Hat's Global Support Services is
no longer provided.

Note: This notification applies only to those customers with subscriptions
to the Extended Update Support (EUS) channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6.1.

We encourage customers to plan their migration from Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.1 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 (6.2, 6.3, or 6.4, for which EUS is available).
