In another thread or the weekly meeting we decided on centos.
Before we close out that discussion, let me just add that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an option, and colleagues in Red Hat have provided me with the means to get entitlements, if we decided to install RHEL.
What are the arguments for & against RHEL vs CentOS?
From the minutes[1]:
15:18:31 <quaid> #topic Hosting 15:18:39 <mburns`> eedri_: i'll look 15:18:58 <dneary> Alter Way - Kévin's back on the case after a busy spell, and he just needs to know what OS we want on our server 15:19:30 <eedri_> dneary, i think centos 6.3 will be fine... 15:19:33 <dneary> #info Kévin Mazière got back to us, and asked what operating system we want on the server. RHEL is OK, but we need to supply a license 15:19:34 <quaid> +1 15:19:43 <quaid> yay, info! 15:19:45 <dneary> #agreed CentOS 6.3 15:19:48 <eedri_> rhel 6.3 is preffarable of coursed 15:19:56 <eedri_> but if we don't have lic, then centos 15:20:06 <quaid> eedri_: actually, I think CentOS might be preferable, too :) 15:20:15 <dneary> quaid, IIRC, you took xcare of license provisioning for old servers, yes? 15:20:17 <eedri_> quaid, sure :) 15:20:18 <quaid> it's the common platform for the oVirt users, right? 15:20:29 <quaid> dneary: Linode runs CentOS 15:20:31 <eedri_> quaid, isn't that fedora? 15:20:32 <dneary> Ah 15:20:39 <dneary> Then let's not lose sleep over it. 15:20:44 <dneary> CentOS 6.3 it is 15:20:50 <ewoud> +1 15:21:13 <quaid> eedri_: not really, people seem to prefer CentOS over Fedora for infrastructure deployments 15:21:23 <quaid> fine with me, all-in-the-family 15:21:31 <eedri_> +1 for centos 6.3
So the short summary is that some prefer RHEL, some CentOS because it can be a more common platform for our users but there wasn't a long discussion.
Personally I only have experience with CentOS and no RHEL but no strong preference.
