Apart from migrating to Oracle Linux (which I wouldn't like at all), and buying RHEL itself, what are other possible alternatives (just curious)?
OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu LTS, BSD
FreeBSD has a 5 year support window, but that only applies for the base system (kernel and core utilities), not to any additional software you need from FreeBSD ports. They don't have the resources to maintain stable versions, so you have to compile everything yourself (binary packages are late to deliver security updates, again due to resources). Fine for a firewall or load balancer, but if you run a bigger Web application, Debian or another LTS distribution are much better, IMHO.
