Since you need an "urgent" answer, go look on Red Hats website, and read the release notes. And you also need to read the LQ rules and question guidelines.

rhel is Redhat enterprise linux.

rhel6 is version 6
rhel7 is version 7

rhel7 has newer , updated packages than rhel6. Also support for the consumer would be more time with rhel7. Everyone should upgrade to newer version before support expires.

@TB0ne and John VV: if you can't manage answering a question properly then feel free to pass up on posting. Deliberately not answering the question properly but allowing your own irritation at the thread title and possibly the terseness of the question to take over is not the way to go. While there is something to be said for educating 1st posters this is not the welcome we would like 1st posters to be greeted with, it does not bode well for the future and it is not a good example for others.

Sorry, but I feel like I *DID* answer it properly. I directed the OP to the Red Hat website, which has full release notes for both versions, from which the differences can be derived. I also pointed the OP to the "Question Guidelines" link, which Jeremy suggested we do for such posts.

Also, RHEL 7 has replaced upstart with systemd... if you aren't familiar with systemd (like I wasn't), stick with RHEL 6.

We created the link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...#faq_lqwelcome for just this purpose. If there are threads you think this is applicable to in the future and you'd like to address them, please include a short friendly note and a direct link so the OP can better understand how LQ works and how they can participate effectively moving forward.

If you need a modern enterprise Linux platform, and aren't familiar with systemd, then use rhel7 and get familiar with it.
