These distributions have either reached their end of standard support from vendors or have reached End of Life (EOL).

Our ELS service is designed to provide solutions for organizations that are not yet ready to migrate to newer versions and that are seeking long-term stability for their out-of-date operating systems. The service coverage includes updates for the Linux kernel and a list of essential packages that are integral to server operations.
