RHEL makes it simple for 3rd party vendors to port their product to Linux because of the much longer support windows. Vendors love it. And large companies like the one I work for love it. And it works very well-outside the cluster. We have the RHEL conversation on a regular basis with our bosses. RH will come in and talk to them about the wonders of RHEL, and they want us to use it in the cluster, specially for infrastructure. We then have to patiently explain that we have tested standard RHEL kernels and do not perform well under our workload-and we point them to our documentation. That usually halts their forward momentum and workflow does not suffer. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
