RH End of Life

[Justin Bennett]

Yeah RH 2.1ES and 3ES are based on the proven 7.x technology. It's more 
of a proven reliability issue for enterprise than for "Bleeding Edge". 
We run 2.1ES here. But since it is actually taking a step "backwards" 
then you need to reinstall. For example it uses Apache 1.3.x rather than 
the Apache 2.
