I think RHEL got to where it is by being a good choice for students that was similar to the most relevant UNIXes. More total users with UNIX like experience should have been good for the UNIXes but I wouldn't consider any of them healthy.
- edgyquant 3y agoRHEL wasn’t free for students until just a few years ago iirc. So don’t think this is the case.
- fatfingerd 3y agoGiving Universities labs of RHEL was a way to get more Intel based machines in and therefore undergrad students used Fedora.. Research students would end up with RHEL where I went based on costs to their department. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux#History
