Knowing is half the battle. RedHat's kernel annoys me in ways others tend not to.
I used to think "Red Hat is basically Fedora, but old(/tested)" but that's one place they are pretty different.
They strip kernel modules out for a fair amount of hardware, instead of just stating it is unsupported. It makes sense from a business perspective, but I've found myself surprised by it a couple of times.
There's a big difference between not supporting it and disabling it completely.
On the flip side, their version number is near useless at a glance due to the number of backports.
- em-bee 4y agonot just hardware, but also things like filesystems and probably other things too. i used to go with centos as my preferred server operating system due to its long release cycles, but when redhat removed btrfs from the kernel i was forced to switch to debian as the next most reliable and longterm supported server operating system.
