Debian and ubuntu are clearly two substantially different distributions with different packages, policies and goals. As are RHEL and Fedora. The only difference between Centos and RHEL is some branding and whether you paid a license fee.
- cs702 15y agoThere's one other important difference between RHEL and CentOS: many enterprise applications are certified for the former but not the latter. (Many corporations and governmental organizations are not allowed by internal IT policy to use CentOS for critical applications.)
- nknight 15y agoThose same, clueless organizations prohibit use of Ubuntu, too, because RHEL is the only thing they've certified. None of this changes how badly misleading and disingenuous Mark's statements are.
- Terretta 15y agoI'd like to toss Amazon Linux into the ring as well. I know we're moving our various cloud boxes from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to Amazon Linux 2011.09 whenever we have time to spare. Access to the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository is pre-configured as well.
