I just want the "Ask Slashdot" original submitter to get the study, and let him 
and his client's CIO decide.  But apparently my opinion of Slashdot moderation 
continues to hold true.  Authoritative sources and studies don't get modded up, 
just opinions.

I'll never forget when several 
of my colleagues, unique PhDs with expertise in a specific area of 
semiconductor technology, were basically lynched by the Slashdot mob.  I 
stopped commenting back then.

I guess this will be the end of my comments on Slashdot for another 5 years as 
well.  And I should probably end my comments on this list too, since this is 
definitely non-technical and could be considered OT.  Thanx to the list for 
letting me fill up their mailbox on this matter.

If it matters, run RedHat on prod hosts and centos on non-prod dev/qa.. 

You get support as main reason for justification. RedHat support improved 
tremendously over past 4 years. You may still get level one from india, but 
once you break through level one, you get fairly knowledgeable folks that can 
help.

I have no agenda.  I just want the original "Ask Slashdot" individual to see 
the study for himself, and provide it to his client's CIO.  I'll let them 
decide from that study, on its own merits.  And I fully disclosed that the IDC 
study was funded by Red Hat.

P.S.  I made one more comment here, which goes beyond the "support" and TCO 
aspect ...

Bryan,

If everyone was to switch to CentOS, there would be no more CentOS.

Nice post.  Good luck.
