Well, you could try WBEL or one of the other clones of RHEL. Seems to me
those are the natural successors to RHL - foc and long support.
I had a Sarge system die last week (/dev/sda [the system] died, /dev/sdb
and /dev/hda were fine). My 2.4 Gb backup contained 300 Mb of
recoverables however I looked at it, so a quick rebuild was required.
Basically all I had was the the configuration from /etc and the rest of
/. /var was lost, /home was /dev/sdb and so okay.
Since this was my server, I couldn't network-install and the only
practical installable that came to hand was WBEL 4. So, quick
unscheduled conversion from Sarge to WBEL it was.
It went pretty well actually, though when I rebooted earlier CUPS got
broken by something.
There's some s*y bit of software thinks it can configure a CUPS server
better than I.
