There's not dozens of RHEL clones. There is CentOS, but it's had its problems lately and Scientific Linux predates it.
If you're suggesting that other random free distros are suitable when one is looking at RHEL or an RHEL clone... well, that's rather silly.
- CPlatypus 15y agoWhat about Fedora? It's hardly a "random free distro" but it is free, and it has that same yum-my RHEL flavor. ;) Or is there something even more specific to RHEL that not even Fedora has? Even if I weren't a Red Hat associate, I'd be curious to know what that is.

Call it silly if you want, but yes, I would like to know the answer to that. I'm being perfectly serious. I've used several Linux distros (though maybe I'm not an expert), and at the end of the day, they all run the same programs.
- streptomycin 15y agoRHEL is extremely stable and releases are supported for much longer than other Linux distros. Also, some commercial software is designed to work on specific versions of RHEL.
