Admittedly late, but...
Vision
Fedora Server is the preferred [community] platform for system
administrators and developers seeking to deploy applications and services
that use the latest technology on a stable foundation with effective
resource utilization.
How does this differentiate from the market position of CentOS (community
platform for deploying apps and services on a stable platform)? Do we care
if it doesn't?
I always thought that
Fedora:
o bleeding edge, where new stuff comes
o new programs/kernels/drivers
o Expect things might not be work or last
o Versions change as fast as in ubuntu, if not faster
o Trendsetter for RHES and CentOS
RHES:
o Takes stuff that can be used in servers that survived baptism of
fire in Fedora
o Long term FTW!
o Slow changes, more security and patches
CentOS:
o Very very close to RHES, but by design 6 months behind it
o Open support, open community like Fedora
o More server related like RHES
