RedHat Enterprise Linux on education area
What do you like best about the product?
I feel very confident to select Red Hat Enterprise Linux in my projects, in my opinion it is one of the most stable Linux distribution available on the marketing, the support also is a strong point they are very focused to solve the problem in the less time possible, but the key point to select Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) it is the support compatibility with another vendors in Hardware and Software area, this is very important to have the all solutions supported in a single project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) haven't many points that I dislike, unless the cost, because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in my opinion it is the most expensive Linux operations system distribution available on the market, I understand that it is leader, but in some case I was forced to select a non commercial distribution CentOS that it is very close to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some time ago, I was adept of Debian distribution, but I had some problem with HBA drivers and storage support, I solved this problem when I adopted the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to this servers, and I really liked to move from Debian to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) based on the stability, support from hardware manufactures and compatibility matrix.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is on the right path, I am just concerned about the effective costs, because in some cases I need to select a product with no support because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) doesn't fit on the budget.

A review from a day to day user of Redhat
What do you like best about the product?
Awesome stability, used for hardware dev. Very innovative and long lasting OS that came with multiple intuitive features.

Lack of support and update compared to Ubuntu or other offerings.

Hardware Dev. REHL was easy to use and came with lots of linux features that made it simpler to navigate.
I have been an Enterprise Architect and Program Director for five years...
What do you like best about the product?
It is robust and yet fairly easy to design a standard configuration for our servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, our standard configurations might be a bit of 'overkill' for some applications, but as I said before, it is a robust, reliable operating system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my current location, we have hundreds of Red Hat servers and are moving them into the Cloud to take advantage of installation and maintenance opportunities the cloud affords.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend getting Red Hat. WHile there might be a slight 'learning curve', the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
Solid education and coding OS
What do you like best about the product?
Fast, reliable Linux distro. Great coding environment. Solid pre-installed application base.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a bit garish and dated. Some default apps are not ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used primarily for compiling code in educational environment. CAEN systems run this!
KVM the FLOSS virtualisation solution
What do you like best about the product?
Kvm is supporting Intel's VMX hardware virtualization which is optimal on intel powered system, I assume it's the same with other ventors isnt AMD providing vt instuctions set too ?
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be confusing to have several incompatible virtualisations system on the same host , which is not possible but afaik there is no abstraction service to switch from one system to an other.
Setting up network interfaces can be confusion, and supporting accelerated GPU is not fully supported, so it can be inappropriate to test opengl application, that said vmware with mesa gallium driver can be an alternative to consider.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used kvm to test some distros like Tizen:Common which are using the same architectures.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you can also look for libvirt and virtman which is providing a nice user interface if you're not confortable with command lines or man pages. Something also useful is to disable the GUI windows and use ncurses mode to use the guest machine on host's terminal. Last but not least even if kvm is a good product maybe there are other way to address isolations needs, for instance containers can also be considered, check also for CGroups, LXC, docker, rocket ...
Best solution for automating application and ETL batch jobs
What do you like best about the product?
All functionality and features available. Easy to install, upgrade and maintain open source applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
upgrading the OS between major versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all our ETL and application programming is run on this server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
easy to implement all solutions and schedule batch jobs using shell scripts.
