For the higher end servers. no problem. We have already started ordering RH Enterprise at $799 per year per server.
But for all my lower end servers, what now? Do I go with another Linux distro? FreeBSD? Os2 warp?
I really don't want to loose up2date. And I don't care if I am running the latest shit or not; I just want it stable and mindless to maintain and install.
What are you guys doing about the Red Hat mess?

Go debian, been around alot longer, completely GNU, has better tools than up2date (all you have to type to update ALL packages, if updates are available is 'apt get update'), (rpm's suck). If you want the best performance, go free/net bsd.
