<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to first preface this e-mail by saying if this
topic has been covered already, could someone point me to the month of the
discussion and I will gladly read it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have been using RHEL 3 / 4 in our environment and I am
very happy and satisfied with the stability of the OS. Now with the new
technologies incorporated into RHEL5, specifically Virtualization, Clustering,
and Storage, and the costs associated with them, I was wondering how similar
CentOS and RHEL 5 were. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It is my understanding that CentOS is RHEL 5 with the RedHat
icons removed but the functionality of the packages is the same. In addition,
updates may come a day or two later than RHEL 5. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My boss is a little concerned about the differences since we
host production servers that require minimal downtime.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts and opinions are very welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you for your input.<o:p></o:p></p>
