Hi Everyone,

Listed below is a URL to Novell's product life cycle for SuSE. With this in mind, I've seen two patches come out for SLES 8 since November 30th, but is Novell going to continue providing patches for SLES 8 now that is out of support? I understand tech support via Novell, isn't available.

I see the "Self Support" listed on the URL I've provided, but I don't any information on the web site specifically talking about what makes up "Self Support". Extended support isn't offered for SLES 8, so it would infer patches for SLES 8 are no longer available. Does anyone have info to clear this up?

Thanks in advance,
Greg
