(CentOS or Ubuntu LTS comes to mind). Software. RHEL provides only a small fraction of the packages available in Fedora. Even worse, RH disables features that Fedora has and RH aggressively removes the `-devel` packages. When I tried building software on CentOS, I had to patch and rebuild a bunch of Fedora packages, patch and rebuild some CentOS packages, and rebuild some more CentOS packages for packages that builds but doesn’t ship before I could even begin. I found this to be a waste of time and not sustainable. As far as Ubuntu goes, I would probably choose Debian. But I am more comfortable with rpm than apt, and have yet to find a good guide on how to build my own `.deb` packages. I also find it easier to manage the stream of small changes that come with Fedora instead of the flood of changes that come with a new RHEL release.
