[β] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Out of the mainstream distros what might end up getting bought by Google or even Microsoft, Ubuntu seems to me like the most likely candidate. I mean, RedHat was once the even more likely candidate, but permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) RedHat is unapologetically the Enterprise Linux so they're very close to Windows Server in that way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Limit@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) I find Redhat annoying with how they lock down access to KB articles unless you have a subscription and certain "proprietary " things they do but I managed over 500 RHEL 7 and 8 servers at my previous job and I will say that their support is excellent, and RHEL is rock solid.

We basically just used Sat for licensing and as a local repo so it wasn't too bad for that. We started using Ansible more just as I left my sysadmin career. Lots of rhel with rac and jboss. permalink fedilink source parent
