But RHEL is a commercial product that costs $$$ right? Debian does 3+ years on 
average which is pretty good for free. I think certain ubuntu releases are 
going to be have support updates for 10+ years for free. Anybody know what 
CentOS does?

If you're really so risk/change adverse that's you can't upgrade within 5 
years, you probably can afford to pay RH more money to support you rather than 
spend the same money upgrading. Either that or you have proprietary apps 
holding you back or something.
