Lineox Enterprise Linux 2.1 Released with Always Current Version and Update
Service for Lineox and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1

30. Aug. 2004

Lineox Enterprise Linux 2.1 is compiled from sources available from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/2.1AS/en/os/i386/SRPMS. The
only packages that were altered are redhat-logos and anaconda. This makes
Lineox Enterprise Linux 2.1 highly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
2.1 AS. 

Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux 2.1.007 contains all available
updates including Update 5. Lineox has reserved lower version numbers to
older Update levels and we may make Always Current versions based on these
if there is enough customer demand because some commercial software packages
are supported only on certain Update levels.

Main reason for making Lineox Enterprise Linux 2.1 was to create a platform
on which to build updated packages from source packages published by Red
Hat, Inc. which continue to be available up to May 31 2009. Lineox self
plans to use these packages to keep some of our servers updated, which are
still running Red Hat 7.2 based Spectra Linux 1.1. This is very painless
migration because Lineox Enterprise Linux 2.1 is based on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 2.1 and that in turn on Red Hat 7.2. 

Most painless transfer is however using our affordable Update
Service on existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 systems. Lineox doesn't
offer any other support than package updates, but in most cases that is all
what up and running systems need.
