+ | ===== Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Red Hat Enterprise Linux or RHEL is a commercially supported distro | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | \\\ | ||
+ | Since it's one of the major commercial distros, other commercial | ||
+ | vendors, HP, IBM, etc, officially support some of their products with | ||
+ | this distro. | ||
+ | to officially support a few. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The packages included in an enterprise Linux version have been time | ||
+ | tested ("Soak time") rather than being the latest versions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For more information see the link above or see | ||
+ | [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Since RHEL is open source, it is possible to create a distro that | ||
+ | contains the same packages but is community supported rather than | ||
+ | paying for a support contract from Red Hat. Some companies using | ||
+ | Linux want garanteed support contracts and are willing to pay for | ||
+ | them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | CentOS [[http:// | ||
+ | Since there are no license fees, you can have all the development | ||
+ | machines you want without paying any license fees to Red Hat. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One of the project goals of CentOS is to NOT fork from RHEL. | ||
+ | Therefore, bugs found in CentOS and any fixes are fed back to Red | ||
+ | Hat. | ||
