Re: Redhat Alternatives for MySQL
SuSE Pro. Automatic online updates/bugfixes. Cheap. Only pay for the support you need. I've been running MySQL on SuSE for 18+mths with no problems, and SuSE in general for about 3 yrs for allsorts of thing.

We are far from linux experts, so Redhat made sense, particularly the ease of installation and the bugfixes via up2date. Now that Redhat is ending support, we need an alternative that doesn't cost $349+ per year. We never need formal tech support; we only need access to reliable security bugfixes/updates. Fedora seems out of the question because of the frequent upgrade cycles. Can anyone recommend a linux vendor that 1) offers an easy bugfix/update system and 2) is affordable for a small business with limited linux expertise. We want a reliable solution for our MySQL server(s) as we grow. I realize this request may be a little off-topic, but since the health, security and future of our database server is in question, we felt we needed input from other MySQL users.
