john,
Why not look into Gentoo. While it might take a couple of days, it
appears to be one system that can be kept up to date without relying on
vendors, such as Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake. On the other side, if we all
go to free releases, we may end up putting some of the better distros
out of business.
