You have 10,000 users on a mail server, and you are not willing to pay
_anything_ for your operating system, which provides everything you need to
serve those users? Is this a massive charity mailserver, or is this a
business? If it's a legitimate charity, I bet you can get Red Hat or
someone to donate a license to you; and if it's a business, then why do you
want everything for free?
To answer your question, I would look at the Fedora Legacy project. If that
does not seem to fulfill your needs, I would move those 7.x servers (and
maybe the 8.0 ones as well) to RHL-9 until mid-April 2004. This buys you
six months to evaluate Fedora and other alternatives.
