Re: [PLUG] CentOS

[Chad Waters via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Yeah, I think the whole selling-point of CentOS was that it was
near-identical to RHEL but free.  That makes it great as a
test/development platform, or for production for cheapskates.  In
theory binaries that run on one would run on the other, and so on.

I still haven't read up on the gory details of the change - I never
used CentOS or RHEL myself.  However, I can see the appeal of that
sort of LTS platform for enterprise solutions, especially in more
traditional IT organizations.

Yes. I have used CentOS in lab environments as a freely licensed RHEL equivalent to demo other products. There are products that state they on linux which really means they run on a specific RHEL version. 

BTW,  I have used RHEL in production instances in the past as well. I have never contacted RedHat support.

My question: if CentOS Stream is the testbed for RHEL, what does that mean for Fedora?
