[Gloucs] Red Hat alternative

[Sean Keeney]

Centos. It's RHEL without the branding.

If you're running Ubuntu as a VM then their JEOS respin is perfect, I don't
know if an equivalent is available for Centos. I also prefer Ubuntu Server
in a greenfield environment, but Centos is great assuming you realise its
limitations (older kernels and packages mainly)
