I found RHEL and friends too frustrating to use.  They
freeze their stuff so as to not have upgrade issues

And it is like pulling teeth to get the to fix anything,
unless you are a paid subscriber.

Don't count on paid subscription mattering much at all, I have got the
answer that it works the assinine/wrong/broken way upstream so they
won't fix it (I have gotten that answer a couple of times).

Oracle when supporting the RedHat compatible packages will give the
same sort of answer (it works just like it does on actual RedHat so we
won't fix--they do not care that it actually is broken).

And note I was the person that worked the hard cases for a company
with > 5,000 licenses, so if most senior linux resource at a company
with that sort of licenses are getting this story then everyone else
is screwed..

All paid gets you is the security updates and other new/package
updates, the typical support is to blame the customer and give you the
run around for months and maybe (or maybe not) fix it and/or simply
hope the customer gives up.  For almost everything else you are on
your own.


When I switched over to Fedora, the difference was so great
I almost giggled.  Everything -- well almost everything -- worked!

And Bugzilla got things fixed!!!!
