Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

We currently use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as a lightweight OS for multiple applications including webpages and developers to develop in. The flexibility and support make it one of the best options for a business in my opinion. The documentation as well is very helpful as well as the community efforts behind Linux to lead to better understanding and use cases.
  • Lots of flexibility with what you want or dont want installed using it.
  • Support is very excellent with someone willing to chat or email you answers if you have questions
  • ability to adapt to different use cases and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) adding particular functionality that may be useful down the line to the OS.
  • More up front way of providing details on support for particular version of OS. If one has 2 years of support but a minor release has 6 years of support. let us know to upgrade if we want better support. or provide a way of showing when support ends on the server itself
  • Easier rollback methods when and update doesnt work properly
  • More support for legacy stuff like python 2 (backwards compatibility).
  • Definitely provided a cheap way of testing different applications for us without needing to pay a lot.
  • cheap hosting and maintenance
  • improved productivity and uniformity.

Would you buy Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) again?

Yes

More suited for business or professional use. For smaller use like a laptop or pet project id recommend another OS. Especially because certain repos have more support for smaller stuff like that like in Debian. Though professionally it is definitely second to none id much rather recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) than something like Ubuntu.
