There's nothing really new in that announcement, as the end regular
life cycle have been determined long ago. In any case, back to the
OP's original question, if he's concerned about "Debian is changing to
soon their versions and only have support for 1 version" then
RHEL/Centos is a good choice. Choosing RHEL6 will guarantee regular
life cycle availability until 2017.

If you don't have money to pay for support, you can download a 30-day
RHEL trial, and either get support or switch to Centos later.
