Over the last 3 years or so of using CentOS (or as it were in previous workplace, RHEL sources compiled locally), I've been exposed numerous times to the "CentOS vs. RHEL" question and not once saw a killer argument for preferring RHEL over CentOS. Only instances I saw: 1. Oracle's installer looks for specific strings in /etc/redhat-release, which can be tricked by editing this file during the install process. 2. Our developers asked for RHEL instance to compile stuff that one of the clients insists it must be an RHEL binary. As far as I can tell this is a case of CYA more than any technical reason. --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
