CentOS - Feb 2011 - We haven't had a lot of demand for Fedora...people seem okay with CentOS!

That just in from chunkhost.com, where you help them beta test Xen for $FREE :)

What do you have against CentOS & FOSS ????

This was posted as a compliment to the CentOS Team and to the CentOS Community.

Should the vendor be asked for a less ambiguous statement?

Absolutely nothing to the purity of Ivory soap :)  26 of our favorite
servers run CentOS.

Having read what Lamar wrote, namely:

There is plenty of documentation on how to do a Fedora rebuild

but EL6 is based off F12, and thus, once you have comps and a few

buildrequires (a larger package set than the distributed SRPMS) for
EL6, would churn out EL6 builds and composes.

This poster doesn't have a spare box, so after reading Lamar's post
about how to learn, GMail mentioned $FREE Xen vboxen over at
chunkhost.com.

When queried about whether a FC14 image was available and thus a vbox
on which the learning process could proceed, the subject line was the
answer.

Thus, the compliment to the CentOS Team and to the CentOS Community
for the wisdom of selecting CentOS as the beneficiary of their hard
work and for their choice of an OS, respectively.

Some may perceive ambiguity in the subject line :(

Wow, I'm really impressed with the professionalism of that site :-P

Quotes from their FAQ:
"Currently, our physical servers are ... ... with RAID 1 (mirroring)
10K SATA drives. The mirroring means double read performance and
complete redundancy."
"Do you have an SLA (Service Level Agreement)? - Yes! We offer an
unconditional 100% network and server uptime guarantee."

Heh...double read performance on RAID1 and 100% guaranteed uptime
(hey! that's more than Amazon EC2!!!). Ohh, well, I'm not putting my
stuff on their servers anyway.

Best regards
