<div>my misguided knowledge says CentOS vs RHEL same thing... one is free the other isn't With redhat's you get the support and possibly some proprietary code that isn't quite available in CentOS. these two are meant to be stable and more sever oriented. RHEL vs Fedora... Fedora is less stable then RHEL. Fedora is meant to be the free version of their OS... more for desktop use. might be wrong here, but you tend to find code that hasn't been as tested as their RHEL edition.</div>
