If you have an environment that requires longer life cycles, have you
considered CentOS 6? It, and it's upstream distro, are roughly
equivalent to Fedora 12 (with many, many changes). It will be supported
for another six years or so, iirc. That should leave you with a platform
you will find familiar.
