Maybe there are other reasons for that, like that is isn't upgradable
and/or that it is expensive to switch. It's also possible that other
software they are using works best with that, maybe because the other
software hasn't been upgraded yet.
In my case, I found Fedora very expensive to upgrade.
Even before complete failure, installs were a pain.
I spent days or weeks wanting to kill something.
Installing CentOS went perfectly.
I did net install, something I'd never done before,
because my DVD drive wasn't working at the time.
If I want something that *I* cannot install on CentOS,
I'll just have to find a distribution earlier in its release cycle.
That might be the time to consider virtualization.
Unless I missed it, nobody has described a particular use case yet in
which it is obvious that it is good to use CentOS. Upgrading holds its
risks as well as using software that cannot be upgraded. The future
cannot be predicted. So how do you make a decision like between using
Fedora and CentOS?
Is there a particular use case in which it
is obvious that it is good to use RHEL?
