I am researching the use of White Box Enterprise Linux. Someone else in a similar position with a bunch of 7.x boxes created it. He took all the SRPM files for REL v3 and removed all the Red Hat logos and trademarks. It is the same software as Enterprise but you can freely copy it. They also modded the update scripts to work with more generic update sources. The cool thing is the system is completely compatible with the REL source errata which Red Hat has promised to continue updating for at least five years. They have also setup a small system of mirrors to host the update files. It looks very promising. I am trying this and Debian to see which will be easier to keep updates for.
