What about CentOS? It's essentially RHEL, but for free.It's only partially a technical decision, but a professional one, too. I use my machine to make money. I don't object to supporting the folks who develop the software I build my solutions on. I would like to see commercial / open-source business succeed. And having paid support on the other end of the line as a last desparate resort ain't bad, either.
Ok, I understand the support thing - I support lots of shareware stuff that I could be using for free, because I feel that if created that tool/app, I'd like those who use it to pay me, too.
But you didn't mention the technical part of the decision. What reasons pro/con would you list for CentOS? I ask because I'm thinking of upgrading my server soon, and this is one candidate.
