Not a single reply? RHEL/CentOS is great.
Ayden Ortiz
Sup Forums generally hates RedHat.

Is it just a stable fedora? Advantages over debian stable?
Austin Scott
There's a bit more to it then just "stable fedora" but yeah(they pick a version of Fedora and fix all the issues and add new packages and such).
As for using it over Debian, eh, different strokes different folks.
Adrian Perez
>Is it just a stable fedora?
Roughly, yes.
>Advantages over debian stable?
It's a distro put together with the backing of a multibillion dollar corporation as their flagship product. I think the better question is what advantages would debian stable have over it.

Never saw anyone use it for personal use t b h

I tried a trial version of their Workstation product and it's stable as fuck. If I wasn't a Windows fool I'd totally pay the 49 bucks.
Cooper Williams
kexec
interesting
Colton Bell
its 49 dolla yearly, there is centos but the updates are lagged as hell
Blake Hall
its amazing if you don't mind using gnome
Ethan Williams
There's CentOS.
The big updates take a few weeks to be officially released, like 7.3 -> 7.4, but after that any security or package updates are put out very quickly. If you want, the big updates are also available quickly through a special repository (CR - continuous release repository) before they're moved to the main one.

why haven't red hat create a botnet yet?

Debian has roughly 10x more packages in the main repo and offers actual kernel upgrades via backports rather than monstrous frankenkernels of dubious reliability. I've had CentOS kernel upgrades render systems unbootable semi frequently.
Austin Taylor
>THANK YOU BASED RED HAT
It's "Thank you, based Red Hat.".

One day I'll go on a rampage.

>frankenkernels of dubious reliability
The kernel engineers at Red Hat are competent.
>CentOS kernel upgrades render systems unbootable semi frequently
Rumor and hearsay. How many people actually need the very latest kernel when drivers are backported? Most hardware is going to be supported. The CentOS-Plus repository offers newer kernels, but then you're moving away from Red Hat upstream.
>Debian has roughly 10x more packages in the main repo
That's a legitimate point. You can use spec files from fedora for a lot of additional packages if you don't mind building your own rpms.
Gavin Stewart
Try saying both of them out loud
Your version is very slightly autistic
