+[RedHat Enterprise
Linux | http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/
] is a LinuxDistribution
designed for corporate scenarios, with a medium paced release cycle, a committment to stability
, and support
to the Nth degree. If someone has certified their software for [
Linux]
, it's probably going to be on this. [RHEL] products are delivered through an annual subscription which includes one year of support services and access to the RedHat Enterprise Network. There are three [RHEL] flavours:
-http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/
+* AS (Advanced Server) for 4+ [CPU]s and clustering
+* ES (Enterprise Server) for 1-2 [CPU] servers (this is probably the one you want for most cases)
+* WS (Workstation)
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux products are delivered through an annual subscription

support services and access to Red Hat Enterprise Network
.
+Is __not__ available [free]ly from RedHat, but it __is__ [Free]. If you get the [CD]s from someone
with a subscription, and build the [SRPM]s yourself, you're allowed to have it. Of course, such a homebuilt [RHEL] would come without any entitlement for
support and
services,
and so it is pointless
.
-Comes in three flavours: AS (Advanced Server) for 4+ procs & clustering, ES (Enterprise Server) for 1-2 proc servers (this is probably the one you want for most cases), and WS (Workstation).

. (Yes
, the [GPL

, it would seem you're allowed to

.
+Stability:
+ 12-18 month release cycle and five years of support for every version.
+Performance:
+ With multiple kernel performance enhancements and the audited industry-standard benchmark results to prove it.
+Manageability:
+ RedHat Enterprise Network
is included
. Provides industry-leading patch/security management and delivery
, and optional system monitoring.
+Applications:
+ Rapid adoption of
the RedHatEnterpriseLinux family by
[ISV
]s means
the applications you need to run your business,
from vendors such as [Oracle], VERITAS, BEA, CA
, and [IBM], are available and fully certified. Even better, because all RedHatEnterpriseLinux family members are based on
the same core OperatingSystem foundation
, when an application is certified on one family member
it is automatically certified on them all.
+Certified hardware:
+ Major hardware [OEM]s, including [Dell], [HP], and [IBM],
have certified their systems to run with RedHatEnterpriseLinux products
.
