CentOS’s release schedule has been really struggling recently. Release 6 was almost edging a 250 day delay over Red Hat.<\/p>\n

CentOS have still to announce an official date for 6.1 to be released, which Red Hat released back on May 19th. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding CentOS releases and as such in my opinion makes CentOS not the ideal choice for the enterprise.<\/p>\n

Other advantages are Red Hat’s support services and the Red Hat Network (RHN) are second to none. RHN alone is what convinced us to pony up money for licenses.<\/p>\n

The gist of the advantages are: better support, quicker updates\/security fixes, easier and centralised management of multiple servers with the only disadvantage being a price tag.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
