Our organization is currently in the pilot phase of migrating from different versions of RH 7.x/8.x/9.x(very few) to RH Linux AS.
RH Linux Advanced Server will incorporate a more formal direction for RedHat re: their support strategy for long term corporate health. And... If you think about it, it not only is wise for them, but a good idea for a medium to large business that wants to promote internally that Linux is friendly. With no issues of licensing costs, having developed a formalized and stringent training certification process and offering paid for AS support, it not only shows corporations that it has "grown up", but also that you can see the added value of being able to dev on an "unsupported" system, test on a low-end support system, and publish onto a full RH AS supported production system. I am not sure whether or not the source code will remain "free" as in beer, anymore, but customer support, I believe, will retain non-kernel source code "free"dom as in speech. It is good to see that Dell is being proactive, albeit perhaps not clear, about their need to switch the pre-configured systems default OS install for servers.
