I see the post on Sl's web site for Nov. 20 as end of life.  I don't
know where we picked up the date of 2024.
Our plan to use SL 6.10 looks like it has to be changed and we move on
to SL 7.
Is there an easy way to update server from 6.10 to 7.6 or latest version
of 7.

We have 7.6 running on several boxes and it has been stable.  

It may also solve our netowrk problem unless security update was applied
to SL 7 also.
