Re: [MLUG] RedHat Enterprise vs. Professional

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

A lot of times it's the "support" or "certification".  I.E. Oracle is probably certified on RedHat enterprise edition and on HP hardware.   Oracle would work fine on other systems, but it's certified to run there, so you know it will and can get Oracle support.
Also, a Enterprise edition will often have some extra packages or kernel config options, and sometimes bigmem support or they'll test the kernel a lot more heavily.
Cheers!
