Wow… I was reading the Oracle PDFs about this new support and saw this
Transition is very easy. Existing Red Hat and Novell Linux customers that move to the Unbreakable Linux support program may receive credit for the remainder of their existing support contract. For example, if a Red Hat customer has a support contract expiring on July 1, 2008 and the customer purchases a three year Enterprise Linux Premier Support contract on March 1, 2007 as a replacement, then the customer will be entitled to support under their Oracle contract from March 1, 2007 through July 1, 2011, three years after the customer’s Red Hat contract expires. Please see Oracle’s Linux Support Policies for important information regarding this offer.
