Chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux has wider vendor support for enterprise applications. Also, [ Red Hat Enterprise Linux] (RHEL) provides a better life cycle management than SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Ubuntu Linux. In addition, by using [ Red Hat Enterprise Linux] (RHEL) we are …
The biggest thing about RHEL that makes it stand out for enterprise users is the support that we get from the vendor. Whereas with the other ones, you're basically left on your own. There's no official repo, there's no satellite for patching. You're very left on your own with …
RHEL is better for most use cases that I use professionally for sure. It's the best choice for a professional development environment or a professional server environment.
They have their own pluses and minuses, but for what RHEL eight is and for what it does, I would recommend it above anything else for an enterprise. Two, consistency and stability of the environment, making sure the packages that our developers need are available and not being …
We selected RHEL because it is a supported platform from our ISVs, because of the Enterprise-level support, and because of the long history of Open Source involved and community contributions.
Red Hat is much more compatible and guaranteed stable. We selected Red Hat because of this, but mostly because third-party Linux products are just going to work with Red Hat, with no need to spend time trying to make them go. Also, it's management tools are now quite good and …
CENTOS is the unsupported version of RHEL. There is Ubuntu, which in the current years has become very stable, but the thing is it's been funded by tech giants (I am not going to name them here) and that is the reason they tend to collect a lot of information from the linux …
We used Windows Server. It has not been very painful but when I compare it with RHEL the patching process was lengthy. We also ran into occasional performance issues that were not very straight forward to diagnose.
Each of the different flavors of Linux have their positives and negatives but ultimately for the projects that I chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux was due for the need of online and phone support just in case something came up and we could not solve it on our own. This happens …
While the other flavors of Linux listed above can be used to achieve similar goals, RHEL was chosen due to: 1. Excellent support, both professional and through the community 2. Tried and tested security
So the main reason behind selecting Ubuntu among others was the easy implementation of services in it. Apart from that, as compared to other Linux its GUI is far more better to use and learn. The support of Debian packages and other software implementations are also great in it.
A viable, free, widely used alternative to any modern operating systems on the market. Ubuntu [Linux] is constantly improved, has an enormous user base, a very good community. It's one of the most advanced Linux distributions of today, and can be highly customized to the point …
We chose Ubuntu largely because of the large user base and because desktop setups can be easy to learn for people used to Windows computers and, of course, other distributions of Linux. Not a single one of the people we work with has had formal education or training with …
We mainly chose Ubuntu Linux for its broad compatibility and package availability. Where we have a choice we prefer to deploy software on a Linux platform rather than Windows. Ubuntu is supported by our backup software and we find that updates typically complete without errors. …
We chose Ubuntu because it has lower licensing fees and better free support. We like Debian-based distributions in general, and Ubuntu in particular. Other Debian-based distros we use include Kali and Mint. We've also done trials on Fedora on the desktop, but found that Ubuntu …
While the major Linux releases are all fairly mature and stable, I find Ubuntu to be the release I turn to the most. It has a consistent look and feel that spans across the various versions of Ubuntu, which I really like. It is easy to install and configure, and updates are easy.
Historically Ubuntu has been one step forward from Red Hat and CentOS distributions about software versions and tools usability. In the last years they've caught up and it's very comparable, but at this point, my decision was already made and I will continue choosing Ubuntu, …
For the size and scale of the applications and integrations being developed, it just didn't make sense to go into our existing Red Hat infrastructure. Functionally, you're not really missing anything aside from an existing support contract (which you can get through Canonical, …

Chose Ubuntu
All operating systems are very similar, but for the purposes of web services development, testing environments and facilities for administration within a graphics environment, Ubuntu offers us greater ease to work.
Ubuntu is geared for one real market: Users who are searching for a way to experience Linux, without having to "experience" Linux (i.e. the various package formats, Kernel compiling, etc).
We also have a server than runs RHEL. I do not have a strong preference of one over the other. There is no GUI in our version of RHEL, and sometimes it is nice to look at files and folders, download packages, and do other tasks via a GUI rather than the command line. However, I …
Ubuntu server products offer more customization and are easier to replicate and use in a virtualized environment than Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2016, and are more cost-effective than both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows Server. The ease of setting up …
