I'm probably thinking all wrong but just in case I would love some validation, suggestions, or plain all fashion "Rod, Your stupid" comments.
I work for a publicly traded company (no names please) with a significant number of installations. We're running OpenEdge 10.2A (un-patched) on Suse Linux. I've been unsuccessful in convincing anyone in management that not only is an upgrade is warranted but required. The near future plan, as it's been communicated to me (so disclaimers apply) is to stay on 10.1A and move to a new flavor of Linux that is not on the supported Linux platform listed by Progress.
Begin Rant:
We're going to continue to operate (un-patched) on an OpenEdge platform that was introduced in 2008, retired in 2010 and on an OS that is not supported by the vendor and we find the risk, not to mention the unknown security risk acceptable? Am I missing something? Just say that out loud. What part of that makes you say, "Yep, sounds like a great plan it me!".
End Rant.
