#13"CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat." ? It used to be from a "Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor". Something changed at some point.
Redhat employs some of the CentOS people now, although their build process still seems to be pretty separate.

#17Woo. Have been using the RHEL 7 Amazon AMI images, and it's nice not to worry about shell scripts / custom supervisord stuff for your web services anymore. My node app is deployed with a single `myapp.service` file thanks to systemd: [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node --harmony /var/www/myapp/server.js Restart=always User=nobody Group=nobody Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin Environment=NODE_ENV=productio…
that looks so much cleaner than init.d scripts. I have heard some people refer to systemd as not very linux-esque - can someone comment on what that might mean?

#19I've never used RHEL. It doesn't seem prohibitively expensive. What advantages are there over Centos, other than support?
