Don't forget about SLES, it has the similar support models. Maybe it's not as "cool" as Redhat but it is the only other enterprise Linux distribution (if you care for support contracts, OLA's and the like). And this is cool only because it is good to have choise (even between enterpri$e distro's)
And to speak in favor of SLES, the latest version (11) is really cool and their newest release 11SP1 is even better. Most issues from the new release are worked out so I guess it is the most stable enterprise Linux distro in the kernel era: 2.6.32 (for enterprise that is)
