CentOS may be a better bet for those long term things.

Or pure Debian�http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian (Chart at the bottom)

I am now using Debian for my own stuff FWIW.

I feel old ;-)

No seriously, it is really strange how these things evolve: one day you install a production machine and then you are happy that it keeps on running fine for months and months and then years and years, and then suddenly you no longer dare to upgrade or reboot it. Especially for systems that are required to run 24/7/365.
