If you are running a production server, and don't want to worry about
having to do major upgrades, RHEL/clones give you 5 years of guaranteed
security updates (if you installed early in the release cycle). That
beats anything else out there that I'm aware of. Also, FWIW there were
some recent complaints about the turn-around time for debian security
updates.
What do you mean by that? One of their staff comes in and performs the
upgrade without a hitch including all unsupported software? Or that you
are privileged with access to their up2date repositories?
Since you have a history with YDL, you may (or may not) appreciate that
CentOS uses yum as the default updater (not up2date).
Regarding your question, I mean (as you say) that I can access the
repository to get security updates.
Regarding Debian security, FWIW, there was a recent LWN article the
broke down response time to security issues by major distro's. The
editors were surprised at how Debian had slipped on response time.
