Why?


Why are hardware sellers (for example HP) selling their machines with RH7.3 rather than 9? RH aren't the only ones.?

cause redhat 7.3 is the most widely used redhat dist among enterprise for the it folks if its working then you dont have to upgrade or change it that s why they still use them and also redhat 9 is a major release if they have written programmes for older releases they may not be compatible with the new release
