Re: [PLUG] RHEL Subscription Question


I'd just like to mention that my first experience with CentOS was my
previous job. I setup apache (a few vhosts), did some basic hardening,
and turned on auto updates (minimal CentOS 4 install, no X, etc) . The
thing hasn't had any downtime yet in a little over 2 years.

I just wanted to make the point that CentOS is a solid distro. :-)
