Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS are\nall Linux distributions . Sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is\ndeveloped by the Fedora community, RHEL is a distribution produced by Red Hat\nand CentOS is a derivative of RHEL. But if these distributions are all\nthree linked, what are their particularities and their differences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fedora:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its existence, the Fedora distribution has received\nnumerous updates and benefits from regular improvements. This is a free\ndistribution that favors the implementation of new features ,\nmoreover, it is not uncommon for new technologies to see the light of day with\nthis distribution. Red Hat’s collaboration with the larger Fedora\ncommunity allows professional developers to work on projects tested in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a non-exhaustive list of Fedora features:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  • Community-driven development<\/li>
  • Focuses on new features \/ technologies<\/li>
  • Sponsored by Red Hat<\/li>
  • Free<\/li>
  • Short release cycles<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    RHEL:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Based on the evolution of Fedora, RHEL is a paid version mainly intended for\u00a0the professional market and strategic applications.\u00a0RHEL comes with support provided by Red Hat;\u00a0its particularity is that it focuses on\u00a0stability.\u00a0Fedora and the red hat publisher therefore have a beneficial relationship guaranteeing rapid innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here is a non-exhaustive list of RHEL’s peculiarities:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    • Produced by Red Hat<\/li>
    • Paid<\/li>
    • Based on Fedora<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      CentOS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Freely provided to the public by Red Hat, CentOS is in\nessence, the community version of RHEL. Free and almost\nidentical, all packages are recompiled. This distribution which benefits\nfrom the support of the community makes it a variant similar to RHEL, but\nwithout the support of the company with the red hat. CentOS is ideal if\nyou want to reduce your costs and benefit from the stability of RHEL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here is a non-exhaustive list of the specifics of CentOS:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      • Community-driven development<\/li>
      • A variant similar to RHEL<\/li>
      • Free<\/li>
      • Favor stability<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
