Debian 5 (Lenny) Support: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Debian 5 (Lenny) still supported?
Debian ended support for the Debian 5 (Lenny) on Feb 6, 2012 — no more patches or fixes from the vendor. Third-party support keeps it covered: our engineers manage issues, remediate vulnerabilities, and help you maintain compliance for as long as you run it.
When is the Debian 5 (Lenny) end of service life (EOSL) date?
Debian lists the end of service life for the Debian 5 (Lenny) as Feb 6, 2012.
Can I keep using the Debian 5 (Lenny) after its EOSL date?
Yes. EOSL means Debian stops issuing patches and support — the software itself keeps running. Third-party support covers it from there: issue management, security vulnerability remediation, and the compliance documentation auditors ask for, for as long as you choose to run it.
How much does third-party support for the Debian 5 (Lenny) cost?
Typically 40-70% below the OEM maintenance renewal price. Exact pricing depends on quantity, service level and location — request a quote and we respond within 24 hours.
