My view is different. Running any OS comes at a price. It's only a matter of "whom to pay for what and how much" and on finding an individually acceptable/reasonable "price/performance" ratio. That said, all of the 3 above are candidates suitable for different scenarios. * For those with "competent and/or cheap manpower" (e.g. universities) CentOS and Fedora are suitable "construction kits". * Those with little competent and/or cheap manpower, will have to outsource/buy-in IT - With RHEL, money flows to RH, with CentOS/Fedora money flows to other parties.
