The only use case I see for using RedHat or Oracle Linux(I retired from Oracle, and have significant RHEL5/6/7 experience with support both from Redhat and Oracle) or Centos is if you have software that was specifically written for it and won't work on newer and/or is only supported on it, and/or need to have a solid defined/tested/approved NIS security standard. Otherwise I would run Fedora as the enterprise distributions a mess of older packages that it is difficult to get anything newish working right on. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
