A few years ago, I vaguely recall some issue with RHEL needing a special
license or something like that, if you had more than a certain amount of CPU's
or a certain amount of RAM.
Does Centos work fine for 2 CPU's, 16 cores, 32 threads, and 256 G of ram?
Centos6 specifically.

fitness for our purposes, without the effort of evaluating all the changelogs,
and I think this answer is the best

At work, we use some commercial software, that names RHEL6 as a supported OS,
