Can Large Commercial Web Sites Be Run on Free Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| We're currently running some trials to find out. We have several dozen
| servers running Apache on Red Hat 7.3, which is an older version of Red Hat
| that we are using without a support contract. We also have a smaller number
| of database servers running MySQL on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL3), for
| which we maintain support contracts with Red Hat. Recently, however, I've
| made a policy decision to move our servers to more recent versions of Linux,
| perhaps RHEL4 or RHEL5 or equivalent. When we saw what it would cost us to do
| that with Red Hat, we decided to look at less expensive options, in
| particular CentOS, which is a free binary clone of Red Hat compiled from the
| publicly available Red Hat source code.
