Newly Launched Virgin America Selects Red Hat Enterprise Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Virgin America's migration from Fedora to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will be 
| completed by the end of 2007. The company already makes use of JBoss 
| solutions for its core kiosks, plans to soon obtain support for the JBoss 
| Application Stack and will eventually expand its JBoss rollout.

Can Large Commercial Web Sites Be Run on Free Linux?

| 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.
