Reviewing your link, I see that "Developer membership benefits" are available for only one year. Is this really the case or is it extendable in some way? Per the other answer that I received on this thread, I'm inclined to use Fedora Server. The reason I was using CentOS was because I also leased a machined colocated at a data center that ran CentOS. In order to gauge the nuance of CentOS, I figured that it would be good to also have a test/backup machine running CentOS; with my shutdown/abandonment of the colocated machine, that no longer is necessary. But I am open on the benefits of RHEL provided they are indefinite and not one years. Thank you again, Max > -- > Thomas > > NOTE: I am a Red Hat employee, but this is my personal opinion.
