I know of a client still running Red Hat Linux 5.2 in production.  No, not Red 
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2; Red Hat Linux 5.2, 12 years old now.

They're looking to upgrade to CentOS 2.1.  Yes, CentOS 2.1; they have a binary 
application that requires some really old libraries to run (libc5, anyone?) 
and it's a mission critical application and.... oh, and it's not Internet 
connected.

The RHL 5.2 box just runs; all that one can ask of it, that's for sure.
