SUSE linux has 2 years of free updates too, and is free to download. just the 
enterprise version is subscription based, the standard version is still a lot 
more suited to server use than ubuntu, ubuntu's config tools are very limited 
compared to yast particularly for configuring network  and servers. What 
tools does ubuntu have for command line configuration? you might not want to 
run X on the server and with suse yast offers the same functionality in 
ncurses mode as the Qt frontend.
