Re: What's the alternative?
Oracle are out of the running for anything at most organisations due to their licencing chicanery and past record on pretty well everything.
We went with Redhat mostly for QAd & regulated releases and updates. Support never amounted to much (unless you're a blue chip company). The training system was quite useful a few years back for hiring, you at least needed a semblance of a clue for RHCE.
