Other 3.x or later Linux (64-bit) end of life?

Can anyone help me with the Other 3.x or later Linux (64-bit) end of life date? Or end of support? If there is any.

Thanks

If you mean some version of Linux with a 3.x kernel, then 3 or 4 years ago.

Right, OK.

It seems that "Other 3.x or later Linux (64-bit)" is a setting and not an OS.

Yeah, sounds like something you'd see in a VMWare OS dropdown.

Looks exactly like what you’d see reported in Qualys when it couldn’t authenticate.

I think the actual OS is RHEL x.x. We had an assessment done on our network infrastructure and between all the OS versions this one called Other 3.x or later Linux (64-bit) popped up and I couldn't find the EOL date anywhere

Never too old to learn

cat /etc/*release* on the system itself will tell you exactly what it is

Can I ask why you need to retain a kernel that old? Does the hardware you're running it on not support later versions or is it the Software you're running on top?

We solved it, "Other 3.x or later Linux (64-bit)" is a setting and not an OS.

We are running RHEL 6 and later
