Current RHEL life cycle is in fact 7 years. Interesting, I remember hearing just the opposite - that they're about to reduce the life cycle from 7 to 5 years, since allegedly no one uses the same EL major release for more than 5 years. I mean, can you imagine anyone who used RHEL 2.1 up until less than a year ago?

We have some RHEL2 systems still in production.
Anyway, it's nice to see so many people have dumped Fedora for pretty much the same reason as I have, more than a year ago in favour of CentOS. And this was after almost two years of discontent with Fedora.
Fedora works fine for my play laptop. I have it setup so that critical data is backed up to my fileserver so even if I lose the drive rebuilding just takes 20 minutes or so and I'm back where I left off. I don't use it on any infrastructure stuff at my house, but it's definitely easier to get things like networking, eye candy demo window managers, graphics software, etc.. going under Fedora.
