[U2] CentOS with Universe?

We have a VAR who would prefer to load Universe and their application on a supported platform, but we would prefer not to pay for RHEL 6. I searched the list and found a few tidbits, but does anyone have a good list of what changes might be required to successfully run Universe 11.1 on CentOS? How

We use CentOS for our Linux web servers, and for most of our customers. CentOS is RHEL. It's compiled from the RedHat sources, which are freely available. The only changes the CentOS team makes is the logos. If it will run on RHEL, it will run on CentOS. Larry Hiscock Western Computer

The only effective difference is that CentOS is that it will always be slightly behind RHEL. This is because it is re-compiled from RHEL sources. Those sources have to be released before work can start. How long? It can be significant... RHEL 6.0 released Nov 10, 2010. CentOS 6.0 release

While CentOS is effectively RHEL, and generally speaking, runs fine, there is always the chance that a difference is introduced (say an environment difference on the machine that compiled the source) that could adversely support UniVerse. CentOS 32-bit will be easier for you as our RHEL port is

In Dawn's case, I agree with Tony. At larger scales though, support from RHEL isn't just bug fixes that CentOS gets eventually, but is also system configuration assistance for issues, particularly around performance. If you are not running a production server yourself, but are using it for
