CentOS 4 のサポート終了

CentOS4 のサポートが、2012/2/29 で終了します。
これ以降は、パッチなどが提供されませんので、特にインターネットに公開しているサーバ等については、CentOS5 もしくは CentOS6 へのアップデートが必要です。

ちなみに、他リリースのサポート終了は、CentOS5は 2014/3/31 、CentOS6は 2017/11/30になっています。


CentOS ML の内容は以下になります。
==========================================================================
All,

The CentOS-4 distribution (current version 4.9) will be at End of Life

on February 29, 2012.  That means there is only 3 months left in the
life cycle.

This coincides with the date that the upstream provider stops releasing

updates for their EL4 products.

Users who still need the EL4 platform can contact Red Hat for their

Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) product:

http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/extended_lifecycle_support/


Be advised that the upstream provider does NOT release their ELS source

code publicly and therefore after February 29, 2012 they will no longer
release security updates for their EL4 product line.

Soon after 1 March 2012, the CentOS-4.9 tree will be moved off the main

CentOS mirrors and placed on http://vault.centos.org/ where it will be
available for reference.

All users currently using CentOS-4 are advised to begin planning the

upgrade to CentOS-5 (EOL Date: March 31, 2014) or CentOS-6 (EOL Date:
November 30, 2017) ... or a move to the upstream ELS program for EL4.

This will be the 3rd enterprise Linux distribution that the CentOS

Project has taken to EOL, with CentOS-4.9 joining CentOS-3.9 and
CentOS-2.1 in the vault.

If you have any questions, please use one of the getting help methods
