RedHat consumer down-load and questions.

[ronin67]

Just was wondering, I'm currently using Ubuntu 12.4 and was interested in downloading Redhat into Parallels 8.0 (current MBP user). Is there a consumer version of Redhat that I can download and what is the big difference between Redhat and Ubuntu? Any and all help would be deeply appreciated.:smile:

Yes, it is called CentOS and/or Scientific Linux.

RedHat and Debian are two different type of distros, they use different package managers and have different stuff in their repos.

Cent OS is a binary clone of RHEL you can even interchange package between the two distributions I use Cent OS 6.3 as a file server right now

Fedora.
Fedora is where RedHat tests their software before sticking it into RHEL

This is more of an opinion thread, than a support thread. Moved to the Cafe.

Fedora is the consumer version. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the enterprise version. You can get Fedora from fedoraproject.org.

Difference is package manager - Yum and .rpms vs. apt-get and .debs, DE - Gnome 3 instead of Unity, and other random little things.
