We should first define what an "enterprise" OS is.

Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista (listed in the chart) are more 
far away for an "enterprise" OS than openSUSE, I think, or at least at 
the same /level/, to say something >:-)

Solaris/openSolaris is also missing.

I was meaning in relation to that chart, which does state
'enterprise'. SuSE have their own
offering for that, hence openSUSE isn't really valid there I guess.

Uh? I cannot speak for Fedora but sure openSUSE is rock-solid and has 
stable release cycle. I was using it in my servers and workstations for 
the last 6 years.

Besides, the OP did mention nothing about "enterprise" or "long term", 
just "distros/operating systems" so the table is very good but leaves 
many other distros (Archlinux, openSUSE, Fedora, Gentoo, 
openSolaris...) :-)

I guess no. As I already said, 13 months is their EOL support cycle.

Neither of which are enterprise/stable releases in the same vein at
RHEL, Debian stable etc, hence not ncluded.

Do Fedora even do long term support versions?

+1 nice chart :-)

It lacks openSUSE, whose EOL is 18 months and Fedora (13 months).

Does anybody has a list of multiple distros/operating systems comparing
e.g.: security support time for a version, or what are the release
cycles, etc.?

Thank you!
