I am posting the item below not to start any "flame wars" nor to be any
mythological creature from Middle Earth or anywhere else, but rather to put
forward what I have found from one "professional" analysis of the RHEL
situation -- and not an analysis for which I have sufficient data to
support. In the article below, the conclusion "push" seems to mean that
either RHEL clone is the same. Rather than simply including a URL, I am
posting the entire article for any later historical archiving -- unlike
academic journals and articles that exist for posterity, much of the
commentary of the computer technology areas seems very ephemeral.
Nonetheless, when RHEL 7 and its clones come about, there may be interest in
examining the historical commentaries, just as there is in discussing any
evolving technology (e.g., HEP detectors). For my personal choice for
X86-64 systems that need to support 64 bit operations, I have switched to SL
6 ; for systems that can live with IA-32 operations (e.g., my laptop and
other work computers), I am staying with CentOS 5.x for now -- when these
switch to RHEL 6.x, I suspect I will be switching to SL 6 simply because I
do not want to support multiple environments for production.

The author of that blog is on our forum and we are currently discussing some
points about it. There are some things about SL he wasn't aware of....nice
guy, but he seems to be basically a CentOS fan so myself and others have
given our opinions and mentioned what he got wrong.
It's on the SLF :) I'm done with it....:)
I have received a separate private email off the list mention the SL
fora. One small question: when the issue of the various RHEL based
distributions was posted to this list, rather before this article, why
was there no post to a link on the appropriate Forum?
Such a response would have saved list traffic. If such a link was
posted, my apologies for missing it.
