I gave up on any notion of SLES long before then.

Also, the one time I actually requested any kind of support from an RHEL entitlement, it took them the full 48 hours to get back to me with an answer which I solved myself about about 2 hours after I asked - so yeah, CentOS seemed to be enough for me.

With Ubuntu, you do actually have access to incident level support I guess - not that I am likely to ever use it.
