Hi guys, Anyone using Redhat Enterprise in a full production environment? (dumb qn, i know). Am asking coz I want to recommend it to a client minus the support subscription or updates. I am not sure of the legal implications of installing Rhel5 software only. Secondly, who has debian? I guess that will be my next option if Redhat is not viable.
CentOS would be a perfect alternative for RHEL. -----Original Message----- From: Tech List Kenya <techlistkenya@gmail.com> Reply-to: Skunkworks forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> To: Skunkworks forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] Anyone using Redhat Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:25:08 +0300 Hi guys, Anyone using Redhat Enterprise in a full production environment?

Hi Oketch, Would you say you get more value for the subscription over what you would get with CentOS.

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 guys,
Anyone using Redhat Enterprise in a full production environment? (dumb qn, i know).
Am asking coz I want to recommend it to a client minus the support subscription or updates. I am not sure of the legal implications of installing Rhel5 software only.
Secondly, who has debian? I guess that will be my next option if Redhat is not viable. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Skunkworks announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science - http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi - http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general

Thanx for your replies. I know about CentOS but I wanted to try out Debian coz of the HW support. So bottom line: its OK to borrow a redhat enterprise 5.3 dvd from someone, install it on a site as long as I dont need support or updates from rhn, no? Actually I dont need the heavy stuff (DNS, mail, etc) Just a database server. On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 1:16 PM, melvin obiri <obirimelvin@gmail.com> wrote:
