Hi

In my opinion you should go with CentOS, it is a community supported build of Linux which was based on RedHat, it runs stable and will be recognized all the hardware that you are going to use. Thanx

HI

CentOS is the same thing as RedHat but it is built from RPMs without all the RedHat trademark items. Personally, I would like to suggest RedHat for its compatibility.

Hi

For RedHat Linux enterprise I need to pay for a license, does it make a sense? I mean why should I pay for RedHat Linux Enterprise when its alternative comes without any License? Fire1

Hi

RedHat Linux Enterprise License will allow you to contact them for technical support, but your web host should do that for you as well so choosing CentOS would be a better choice. Thanx
