Having said that, Corporate Server 2.1 is now available, and it is a
server OS.  The support timeframe will likely be 3-4 years, possibly
more.  I'm not 100% sure on this yet (not my call).

I understand doing updates yourself is a bore and PITA (oh boy do I
know!), and reinstalling a server every 18mos is also a nuisance. 
Corporate Server will alleviate this.  It will have 12-18mos between
versions, so will be a much slower pace than the main distrib (Mandrake
Linux), and should certainly meet your needs.

There is a PR on the mandrakesoft.com website about it; I don't have
the URL handy at the moment.
