    Your best bet with older releases is the Fedora Legacy Project:
    http://fedoralegacy.org/ They have discontinued support for 7.2 and 8
    but still support RHL 7.3 and 9.

    That's a different question. All of the original Red Hat Linux products
    have been EOL'd by Red Hat.

    All of the Enterprise Linux releases are still supported by Red Hat.
    You can find the lifecycles for these products on Red Hat's web site at
    http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1,
    which was released 3 years ago, will still be supported for another 4
    years.

    See http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ for the errata
    support policies.

    For a free Red Hat distribution, there is Fedora. You can find details
    on its lifecycle at http://fedora.redhat.com with updates for older
    Fedora releases being provided through the Fedora legacy project.
