Re: Corporate support for CentOS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Well, I ask because there are people supporting SL to the degree that they have full time
people working on it, yet they don't actually aim for 100% binary compatibility, just "good enough".
I have used CentOS for a while and wasn't really aware of SL until recently.  With all the projects that
get supported by companies it just seems like CentOS would be a natural choice for a large
technology company.

Every couple of months.

People who have enough money to make significant contributions to this
goal usually hire a couple of competent admins and do it in-house.

For the rest, there is RHEL - or OEL.

Do you think one can undercut RHAT or ORCL?
