There aren't very many differences between CentOS and RHEL except for RedHat custom administration scripts (system-config-*). Instead of up2date, there is "yum". For all purposes, it IS RHEL, minus the support contracts. Where I work, we use CentOS on 85% of our systems, the remaining 15% or so are windows or BSD, so about 1500 systems or so. Turn that into RHEL licenses and it is very expensive.

Secondly, I understand that CentOS and RHEL are slightly different. Wouldn't you think Fedora is a better place to start? -jmz On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 11:57 PM, Tony E - Jaraeth wrote: > If you want to test things without paying for RHEL licensing, get CentOS(org) It's basically RHEL, minus the cost.
