You don't need to indirect through Ubuntu to understand the world. 
Redhat stand behind RHEL for security updates for more than five years 
per version.  And because RHEL is built from other folks' stuff, by the 
magic of FOSS licensing you can get it and the security updates for free 
from, eg,  http://centos.org
