TriRan Posted January 25, 2012 CID Share Posted January 25, 2012 nope i run straight CentOS i used to run Ubuntu server and i'll probably run RHEL next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted January 25, 2012 Author CID Share Posted January 25, 2012 You might as well stay with centOS , it's the same thing as Red Hat, branded differently for support purposes. Ever run anything gentoo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted January 28, 2012 CID Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've tried it but it just wasn't for me I didn't like the feel of it, I like the fact that rhel is that it's more widely supported then centos other than that I like centos and how well it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted January 28, 2012 Author CID Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've tried it but it just wasn't for me I didn't like the feel of it, I like the fact that rhel is that it's more widely supported then centos other than that I like centos and how well it works centOS is running on roughly 30% of all linux operating systems, if you cannot find enough support for it, then yea I understand needing to pay for red hat. Been having loads of fun with sabayon. They claim to be on the "bleeding" edge of whats new, using kernel version 3 and up. Super fast , and is loaded with new things to learn ( for me anyhow ) as I say , never really got into running any gentoo systems installed text only. I like the challenge of being forced to look everything up before doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted January 28, 2012 CID Share Posted January 28, 2012 There are a few things I've Frankensteined together to work with centos because they aren't tested and or supported but almost everything I've seen has supported rhel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted January 29, 2012 Author CID Share Posted January 29, 2012 isn't "frankenstiening " part of developing and progressing, and from what I understand , what Community Enterprise Operating System is all about ? It's been given to the people in general , Vs. a corporation to keep hold of. A guy can say almost anything anymore and someone would be forced to simply ponder it , due to the nature or progression in the IT business. I'm not doubting when you say you had to merge a few packages , or take from one and give to another, or whatever, but I'de like to know what redhat has other then support Vs centos ? Just so I'm more aware. Red Hat is an interesting company. Some people think centos was stolen from redhat by de branding and tossing on the net. I don't remember it that way. It might be more like , the centos project was developed by redhat to support the free software foundation. Do you know that redhat is the top contributor to cnet ? In other words , everything that is payed for by those that pay for the branding , or " support " bug fixes in enterprise level companies, that really need these things worked out, goes to giving the community the patches. Really , an amazing company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
