Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution created by Red Hat and targeted toward the business market. It was spun off from the original Red Hat Linux project in 2002. Additional features include better technical support and updates through the Red Hat Network. There are four flavors of RHEL: WS (workstation), ES (edge server, or a departmental- and entry-level server), AS (advanced server) and Red Hat Desktop.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is derived from stable Fedora Core releases, adding a host of stability and support fixes.
CentOS is a project which aims at recompiling Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the sources and tries to be compatible with it and one of the Free Enterprise Linux Alternatives.
