What about it listeroons? Is your fleet of centos boxes ever expanding or are you just taking care of a single java 6 jboss application that takes care of the companies widget stocks?
How are your jobs changing?
Nope. Well... actually, my manager's talking about Ubuntu or maybe even FreeBSD. He's *extremely* upset with RH being so slow - 8 should have been out for some time, for one, and a lot of 7, even with SCL, is far behind, and our researchers want newer software.
Maybe you should try to explain to your manager why RHEL/CentOS exist and why it's widely used in the corporate world. If he talks about Ubuntu then you could explain to him what Fedora is any why and how it differs from RHEL/CentOS.
Btw, right now, we've just built a new server as Ubuntu, because my manager wants to use it to test zfs, including its ability to a) act as a RAID, directly, without an underlying RAID, and b) encrypt the whole thing natively.
