"""Bottom line, if you want loger support, go with OpenSuse (two years), CentOS (five years), or Ubuntu (five years)."""

CentOS 4 will receive maintenance updates through at least Feb 29, 2012, which is over seven years from its Feb 2005 release date. And I can attest that the updates have been quite timely, indeed.

Even the ancient CentOS 2 (based on RHEL 2.1, released May 17, 2002) will be supported another 3 years, through May 31, 2009, and thus even that aged RH 7.2 based release will still be supported after the upcoming Fedora Core 6 has long been out of support.
