Quoting Robert Canary <rwcanary@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I have a couple new servers I was needing to put online.
I have always built, compiled, and setup my own Linux boxes, the most
recent ones I did so using RedHat 7.2. and recompiled most of the
software to make it fit what I wanted.
However, the options availbale today will suit we just me just fine
without allot of recomipling.
So why would take Fedora over ES, or vice versa?
Fedora:
- free
- bleeding edge (less stable, more features, updates can push new versions)
- short life cycle
- community support
- usually no support from 3rd party vendors (binary-only drivers, commercial software) -- it changes too frequently
RHEL:
- price tag (annual subscription)
- older versions of software (more stable, less features, conservative updates)
- long life cycle
- vendor support (actually, this is mostly what you pay for when you buy RHEL)
- support from 3rd party vendors
Free RHEL clones:
- free
- older versions of software (same as RHEL)
- same life cycsle as RHEL (as long as project is alive)
- community support
- 3rd party vendors might deny support because it doesn't have Red Hat label
You choose which combination of above fits your needs.
