rhel server standard or premium.. which is better???
Hi all!!!!!!!!!!
now since i m the offficial web-admin of my college i have been given the task to configure college's web-server for which we neeed to make rhel purchase. we have opted for the server edition but are confused that should we take standard edition or premium.
I want to know which would be better and wats the difference b/w the two????
The people to ask about the difference will be your RH sales folk. Basically, it involves the service contract terms. Which is better depends on your needs.
If you expect to be doing your own servicing, then you will be better off with a free/non-commercial distro anyway. You only need a commercial contract if you want third-party support. Remember - all linuxes are FOSS, so you are not licencing the software like you do with certain proprietary suppliers.
If you're going to do your own support you can get CENTOS, which is a free version of RHEL.
Otherwise, yeah, ask RH, but its prob the support level that makes a difference eg email vs phone, 9-5 vs 24/7 etc.
