Your question is impossible to answer without knowing what your needs
are.  In my isolated situation, where I was running RH9 on a Compaq
Armada laptop, it was a fantastic upgrade.  The nptl patches have made
my desktop experience much, much faster.

What is your definition of a "dead-end" operating system?  SCO? 
Contrary to what they might have you believe, Linux is NOT SCO.  ;-)
