>> Timo,
>> Its interesting, I am presently attending a conference in NYC and in one of the tables I saw the redhat vendor. >> My first question to them was " What do
you think about centos", they reply "You are using a distribution
>> without support and that is prompt to
failure..." I don't think this is an accurate statement is it? Anyway
to
>> make the story short, they keep telling
how bad centos is for our datacenter and that I should consider
>> adopting redhat which is more "robust",
offers "virtualization" and nearly real-time support for its
customers.
>> I didn't go the extra mile to ask for
pricing but would appreciate your input about what they said about
centos.

CentOS ==
RedHat.
CentOS has
every bug that RedHat has.
CentOS has
every bug fix that RedHat has.
When RedHat
rolls out a new version (e.g. RHEL6.0) there is a lag of a few months rolling
out the CentOS release of the same version; for bug fixes the lag is a few
days.
So, the
price of RedHat is money, the price for CentOS is patience.
The
product sold by RedHat is support, the product 'sold
by' CentOS is self-support.
The relative
value of the two arises from your ability to support your
systems.
