You could always try debian - If you trust those hippies :-0
(tongue firmly planted deep in cheek)

But if you are worried about updates, then just buy ES3.

This has been flogged to death at this point, updates are and will come,
if the project dies, then I have no doubt that it will be very easy to
migrate to another such as centos or someone else will take over.

But the guys in the library are doing an excellent job, well done lads.
I am thrilled with this community - very professional and I suspect that
a majority of members use LINUX is some form of work environment.=20

If Carlsberg made mailing lists, then WBEL would probably kick its arse.
