For the individual who wants to experiment with RHEL (or who is interested in its reputed stability), there is White Box Linux, a clone stripped of all RHEL proprietary logos etc. I believe there are other OSS clones of RHEL as well.
yes, CentOS seems to be well regarded, and has given evidence of promptly propagating bug/security patches.
However, Jamie is dead on in my experience on why it's easier to introduce RHEL formally into a shop. PHBs and IT pros alike are willing to pay (RHEL is dirt cheap by license standards they're used to) to get that warm feeling that having a support company gives them.
Does anyone here have any realworld experience actually _using_ RHEL support?
