[CentOS] CentOS 6 vs. other RHEL clones: security advisory comparison

2012-08-20 Thread Janne Snabb
Hello,

I made some statistics and comparisons about security advisories
published by three popular RHEL 6 clones: CentOS 6, Oracle Linux 6 and
Scientific Linux 6.

The article is available at the following URL:

http://bitrate.epipe.com/rhel-vs-centos-scientific-oracle-linux-6_187

I hope you find it interesting. Looks like CentOS has been doing quite
well this year in this regard.

Feedback is welcome, but please post it at the bottom of the article or
to myself in private. Do *not* send it to this mailing list unless your
message is specifically about CentOS. Please do not start a flame war on
this mailing list.

In case the graphs are not visible in your browser, you should start
using a browser which supports current technologies (specifically: SVG
graphics).

Best Regards,

I have heard some positive feedback about http://zfsonlinux.org/ but I
have not had time to test myself yet. It probably depends on your
intended usage. It is a new in-kernel ZFS implementation (different from
the old FUSE implementation).

RHEL 6.2 x86_64 is listed as one of the supported OSes, so it probably
works fine with CentOS too.

There is some positive and negative feedback in the following links:

Please share your results if you do any testing :)
