Do you mean "two years old and a couple of months"? You probably want
RHEL or Centos.
Do you mean two releases and a couple of months? The plan, I understand,

should be close enough...

Seriously, that's the sort of use for which RHEL or CentOS is suited --
set it up, set up updates, and forget it.
