Now that just isn't true. You can still get updates, bug fixes and
security fixes for Fedora from Redhat. Fedora is "user-supported" and
sponsored by Redhat. But from what i understand, Redhat is still doing
the vast majority of Fedora development.

If you want paid phone support for Linux in any world, Redhat Enterprise
or Suse are probably your best bet.

True, Debian would be a great choice for a web server. However, Real
Geeks don't use GUI installers, haha :)
