Question: Unless your an enterprise or certifying software for an enterprise why do people use RHEL? There are just so many other options without the drama.

I used to use it because they backport secruity patches for software that the official dev team has abandoned - sometimes extending how long you can use that software by several years which is really nice peace of mind. It means I can upgrade on my own schedule, instead of on someone else's schedule.

I don't use RHEL anymore.
