this is like a corporation still using windows 3.1.1 on 386 machines [ 16 bit processor ] in the day of 64 bit processors.

I'm questioning the intelligence of a company that is using linux already not upgrading the os long after all support for that version is killed off.

I have seen ads for linux admins here for RH7, which is utter stupidity on the part of the company to not have upgraded.
