CentOS is a RHEL clone (RedHat Enterprise Linux) without the logos and stuff. (more or less is what Oracle in Unbreakable Linux does) They just "recompile" the packages of the RHEL with the same options. They do that because RHEL is a commercial distro, and you must pay if you want to use it. More information: Please read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS Fedora in essence is the "testing" or "unstable" (they say "community") version of RedHat Distro and have a 6 months timeframe between releases and tends to discontinue support in a year. The centos project is as supported as RHEL (AFAIK, 7 years at least), so the short answer is: NO, CentOS is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more supported than Fedora. And if you really want/need professional support is very easy to migrate between CentOS, RHEL and Oracle Unbreakable Linux. > -----Original Message----- > From: António Pedro Lima [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 12 June, 2008 2:19 AM > To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com > Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Fedora or CentOS for the qmToaster > > Centos! > > I used Fedora for some time... > Moved to Centos and...
