RedHat support changes

Hi...

It was brought to my attention today that RedHat is apparently dropping
support for it's free versions of Linux.  This leaves us (and I'm sure
many of you) in a quandary as to what to do.  The options appear to be
either to buy support (which apparently will be $150 per desktop, more for
servers) or switch to another vendor.

We will probably be forced to switch to another vendor, at least for 
many of our desktops, because of the costs involved.  I'd be interested in 
any opinions anyone has as to preferences for other Linux distributions 
and why.  Also, are there any gotcha's with the other distro's as far as 
running the LDM and gempak are concerned?

                                    Thanks.

                                      Art.
