Personally I am thinking of staying away from all red hat clones due to redhat's actions for my own security. The only thing on the horizon I see is ubuntu server as best supported and up to date.
There are really two good enterprise-grade alternatives, in my opinion, one free and one not: 1.) SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES);
We were using that about 5 years ago, and paid Novell a fair amount of money in their Partner program. Novell's support was slim to non-existent leading to our move to CentOS.
Given the recent sale to Attachmate and such, I wouldn't invest any time or money in SLES.
---- I gave up on any notion of SLES long before then.
Also, the one time I actually requested any kind of support from an RHEL entitlement, it took them the full 48 hours to get back to me with an answer which I solved myself about about 2 hours after I asked - so yeah, CentOS seemed to be enough for me.
With Ubuntu, you do actually have access to incident level support I guess - not that I am likely to ever use it.
