[TriLUG] DST fix

[Chris Bullock]

I think its absurd that Red Hat does not support their product with
updates longer than a year if you bought their product, I can understand
no support but updates should be included.  This will eventually lead to
cracked/hacked/rooted machines since Red Hat is refusing to give important
updates to its consumers.  I like linux, but I feel that Windows providing
support until end of life should be an example followed by Red Hat.

Chris Bullock
