    ANYONE could simply take Redhat Linux, rebrand it as something else, and sell it or give it away for free.

  19. WBEL vs Fedora vs CentOS by diamondsw · · Score: 2, Interesting · on WBEL4 Preview Ready For Testing

    Okay, someone please help me out here. Why would I choose WBEL/CentOS over Fedora Core? How do they relate, say, to Fedora Core 3, which has very similar specs (kernel version, Gnome version, etc).

    And if there's a good reason to choose them over Fedora, should I look at WBEL or CentOS? I'm very confused by the conflicting statements on this site and those on this site. To my reading, the second site is trying to make it sound like WBEL is dead, and the CentOS FAQ "confirms" it, but that doesn't jive at all with the "official" WBEL site.

  20. Looks like WBEL is being discontinued... by sasha328 · · Score: 5, Interesting · on WBEL4 Preview Ready For Testing

    I went to the WBEL website, got re-directed to Whiteboxlinux.net and this is what I saw:
    I've been actively involved in the CentOS community for the past several months. As most of you know I've become disinterested in WBEL. CentOS is nearly the same as WBEL with a few minor exceptions: updates occur in a timely fashion (usually 24 hours), the developers are accessible (even if via IRC), and there is an active community (again in IRC atm).
    CentOS has launched a new dedicated site at http://www.centos.org
    I have prepared a migration page for moving from wbel to CentOS. http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faq id=19

    I am confused now. Who's who?

  21. Re:BUT... by jweage · · Score: 1 · on UserLinux Releases First Beta

    There's nothing particularly wrong with a reinstall for major upgrades as lots of things can get broken in the process. RH et. al. don't want to carry on supporting legacy versions of packages with their major releases. With Anaconda and network kickstarts the pain of doing complete reinstalls is pretty much eliminated - assuming you manage your configurations well.

    With the RHEL product, there will be security updates for 5 years, which do not require reinstalling the entire system. There are "free" clones of RHEL, check out WhiteBox Linux or CentOS or Tao Linux. I'm using WhiteBox in a production environment.
