How to pick the best Linux server for business

“Red Hat has big business support down to a fine art, and it’s
easy to find certified technicians, administrators and engineers
who know their way around RHEL. It’s also supported on a wide
variety of hardware. Whether you’re running x86 servers on racks,
blade servers, IBM POWER systems or mainframes, there’s a RHEL for
you. In short, Red Hat is the gold standard of business Linux.

“Is RHEL is too expensive for your taste? Well, you get what you
pay for, but there are two other worthy business Linux
distributions that deserve corporate attention. These are Oracle
Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).

“Oracle Linux is essentially a copycat version of RHEL. While I
know a few people who prefer it to its parent distribution, most of
the folks I know who’ve tried it find little to recommend it over
RHEL. SLES, on the other hand, has a handy setup and administration
tool, YaST, that I find very useful for setting up branch
office-sized deployments.”
