Fedora vs RHEL

[Daniel Shoemaker]

This is just my two cents.  I use Fedora on my laptop & desktop at home but
I would never use it as a server.  It is great product but it has a 6-month
release cycle which means that you only get 1 year worth of patches before
having to migrate.  CentOS has 7 years worth of patches and it is the free
version of RHEL since it is built off the RHEL source code (just without
the RHEL branding).  If it were me I would be pushing for CentOS not Fedora
unless you are prepared for annual migrations or upgrades.  Since your boss
doesn't want to pay for RHEL (which can get expensive), CentOS is the
perfect alternative.
