Its more about the peace of mind, knowing that I can call RedHat when there is an issue with software. I've never called RedHat for support, but I get critical updates pushed on the servers and so its always upto date. I also still connect to third party yum and apt repos for updates too. For mission critical purposes, I think you better off with RedHat, but if you think you can spare 10 minutes to sort a software issue, then CentOS would be just as good. And come to think of it, 300USD per year is not so steep a price. ./Ok3ch On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Alex Nderitu <nderitualex@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Oketch, Would you say you get more value for the subscription over what you would get with CentOS. Does it get to a time really when you pick the phone and call Redhat to have them sort you.

I use RHEL on over 30 servers, but pay for subscriptions.
