this isn't a soap opera. It's their business, even if they decided to make part of the thing public.

- rdtsc 17y agoAnd my business is my business. We used to use CentOS and now we switched to another open build of RHEL. I have nothing against them, they all seem to be great guys, I would have a beer with them. But the image of the project as a whole has suffered, and because of a lack of perceived stability and reliability we decided to switch.
- Elepsis 17y agoIf you don't mind sharing, what did you switch to?
- rdtsc 17y agoScientific Linux (http://www.scientificlinux.org/ http://www.scientificlinux.org/), it's maintained by Fermilab and CERN.
- ErrantX 17y agothat's the risk you take for using a community (ish) / volunteer developed OS. I always recommend Fedora - because they have Red Hat upstream so it's enterprisey but still the same sort of community :)
- rdtsc 17y agoI hear you. I would rather choose Ubuntu, but we have to be compatible with RHEL since we have to ship our product on it. We need all the dev boxes running something binary and library-level compatible with it, and then it is easier to have all our servers on same architecture as well.
- mapleoin 17y agoRed Hat is actually downstream from Fedora. Red Hat takes a Fedora release once every two years and makes it into a RHEL.
- ErrantX 17y agoyeh sorry I realised this after posting. thanks for the correction (I think my point still stands, I dont know).
