Any body would suggest me if either is same or more stable in one from the other?

In the future, if there is any patches, are they both easy to patch ?

I'm running on RedHat 9 and basically quite stable but always afraid of those mandatory updates.
 
Fedora is designed to be a fastmoving development release.

RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 is designed to be a product with support available for many years.

We're very happy with RHEL/WBEL/CentOS.

We'd never run a server on Fedora. Development is too fast moving and the volunteers who've taken on the job of maintaining all the old versions are swamped as new versions come out every six months.

But that's just my opinion.

Hi Jeff,

What is : RHEL/WBEL/CentOS ?

RHEL = RedHat Enterprise Linux?
WBEL = ?
CentOS = ?

Thanks for the tip.
 
WBEL = White Box Enterprise Linux (http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/)

CentOS = (http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/)

There are others as well, probably not as well known.

These are open source compiles of the RHEL source, with the copyrighted stuff removed.

They run as RHEL, and they have their own yum update sources.

We use CentOS and we've never found anything that runs on RHEL that wouldn't run on it.

Do you run CentOS on DA hosting machines? So all updates on the CentOS is directly using RedhHat patches or Fedora? Or does it have its own at CentOS?

Thanks!
 
We use CentOS for DA servers and the CentOS yum repositories.

Be sure to set the exclude line in the yum configuration; you can find the information in these forums.
