Now I remember, it's an enterprise version based on RHEL. However, I
don't know how much of Fedora is in RHEL. RHEL was started years before
Fedora. I imagine there is some, but doesn't Redhat pick and choose what
to put in. Besides, it's built for the enterprise, and stability as you
say.
As their site says:
CentOS-4 is a freely distributable OS built from the source at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS
To me, that sounds like it would be a couple of steps back from FC.
What do other use and are you happy with the upgrades?
What's the difference? Couldn't I just
keep FC5 and not go to FC6, for
example. Or, does CentOS have an easy upgrade path?
CentOS is simply RHEL (which is based on Fedora), and is supported for longer
than FC, but by the CentOS developers and contributors.
