"The support showdown started a couple of weeks ago, when Red
Hat extended the life cycle of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
versions 5 and 6 from the norm of seven years to a new standard of
10 years. A few days later, Oracle responded by extending Oracle
Linux life cycles to 10 years. Side note: It sounds like SUSE, now
owned by Attachmate, also offers extended Linux support of up to 10
years."
