Comparison of Community Linux Distributions for the Enterprise
Looking for ways to save money on your computing infrastructure? Heard about Linux uptime but need to do more research? You’re not alone. Community Linux distros have become increasingly popular within the enterprise as organizations look to cut costs without compromising on functionality and reliability. But it can be tough to determine which distributions are best suited to different uses within the enterprise and how to approach a migration from a commercial Linux distribution like Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Today there are many good options available, including multiple distros and many third party support options. This article will help you set criteria, ask the right questions, and narrow your options so you can make an informed decision.
PRIMARY CANDIDATES
Based on four key criteria — Supportability, Upgradeability, Reliability, and Compatibility — we’ve narrowed our list to four Linux distros with great community support. In the RPM corner, CentOS [http://www.centos.org/] and Mandriva [http://www.mandriva.com/] are our leaders. In the DEB corner, Ubuntu [http://www.ubuntu.com/] and Debian [http://www.debian.org/] are our top picks.
