Just curious about the differences between RHEL, fedora and centos both (
centos,fedora) of which are funded by red hat .
RHEL is good on Enterprise side , fedora is more on desktop side and
centos on enterprise side .
Is centos is actively developed and maintained as i see more activity on
fedora side
yes
Could you please let me know what are the major differences bewteen these 3
os in terms of features , support model , community and industry acceptance
.
RHEL Supported by redhat not always a bleeding edge one . RHEL derived from
fedora . For eg: RHEL 6 is derived from fedora 14 .
People cannot contribute to RHEL i think.
Fedora Always bleeding edge one since release cycle duration is 6 months .
Most of the open source contribution is done in fedora.
*
Centos*
ALL RHEL source codes are freely available to download in redhat
website . So some people out there download those code and built it by
removing all the redhat logos and changing the background color from red to
blue ;) and yeah renamed it to CentOS . CentOS is backed by most of the
linux web hosting companies.
Redhat wont support Centos but you can easily migrate from CentOS to RHEL
and get support from redhat.
RHEL and Centos is binary compatible.
For Production Environment
If(have money){
RHEL
}
else
{
Centos
}
All the 3 distros are rpm based one.
