It should be the same as RH's enterprise Linux, except that it doesn't
have all the Enterprise-y tools and stuff.

Fair enough. I never bother with support, anyway, for a Linux system.
They run very well, and we keep up-to-date. If you update your packages
(still uring RPM, right?) regularly, the 6-month window slides with you,
doesn't it?

Heh. I have no direct experience. I dumped Red Hat after RHL went from
6-9 in like 2 years. I was sick and tired of their package manager. Then
I discovered Gentoo, which I prefer, and Debian, which is supported by
our co-lo provider, though I don't like apt very much. At least it
installs dependencies for you ;) I haven't looked back.

Noted.
