Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 is current. WS, ES, & AS are just different options, the main difference between the three is the support that you get from Red Hat when you purchase.
And the question about stable, well, both are stable. It all depends on how you administer it, load applications that might not be stable, etc. Both run the same kernel, just different versions by default, etc. You can change that by recompiling a kernel to suit your own needs.
What is the difference between a Red Hat Ent Linux "ES" and "AS"???
And which is the latest and the most stable?
RHEL AS = Redhat Enterprise LINUX Advanced Server
RHEL ES = Redhat Enterprise LINUX Entry-level Server
RHEL WS = Redhat Enterprise LINUX Work Station
at first redhat released its version by naming RedHat Linux (RHL) then after 9th version of RHL redhat changed its release name to REDHAT Enterprise LINUX.
