There is no SLA for security fixes to make it into CentOS. Generally they

In terms of the paid version, yes, the main thing is the support
contract. Something I learned some time ago is that, in the business
world, having a fix is less important to executives than to have
someone to blame for when problems arise. Red Hat takes the blame if
anything breaks. That's help

The free-tier is limited. RedHat is not completely free, but free for small
use cases (I think 16 instances per account). In the past, CentOS was the
free/unsupported variant of RHEL, while Fedora was the test bed for new and
exciting stuff the _might_ make it into the RHEL distro at some point.

Good to know! But what does RHEL offer being a paid distro over CentOS? Is
it just the support and contract stuff, or is there some extra software
involved?

Fedora hasn't been the free version of Red Hat in quite some time.
Instead, Fedora is akin to the bleeding edge development version, and
CentOS was the free version (with unlimited installs) of Red Hat.
Going forward, Fedora continues to be bleeding edge, CentOS is the
preview version for the next
I work everyday in Debian derived distros, but in my mind Fedora was the
free "version" of RedHat. Now that the "enterprise" RedHat is free the big
question is what can RedHat give you that Fedora or CentOS cannot? What can
be valuable for IT and DevOps is some kind of management tools for managing
Sometimes, vendors provide packages or ISOs to install on Red Hat and while
there might be a way to coax them to install on Debian or Ubuntu, the
vendor will only support the software if it is installed on RedHat or
CentOS. Such is the case with Avid iNews, the widely-used newsroom software

One of the benefits of using Red Hat is that they guarantee that the
ABI will be stable for a number of years (about 10). If you're a
small business, and you can't afford a lot of time to be fixing
software, especially when breakage comes in security updates (and we
really, really want people to a

recommend them.

I've been using Linux nearly exclusively for over 15 years. I use
LinuxMint on the desktop and Ubuntu on the server-side and have always been
quite pleased. I tried CentOS and Red Hat in the past and found them to be
out-of-date and no easier or more reliable than my choices. So my question
