Why Red Hat doesn't see CentOS as a Linux rival
One thing that I've always been curious about, is why Red Hat itself doesn't go after CentOS users in an effort to convert them to paid Red Hat support. Today, I got an answer on that question from Red Hat's Marco Bill-Peter, vp Global Support Services. "We are not actively chasing users of CentOS, but rather find that enterprises are naturally turning to Red Hat for the value of the Red Hat subscription model and support," Bill-Peter said. I personally find that a little 'interesting' especially in light of the comments made by Red Hat's CEO and CFO during recent quarterly investor conference calls. As an overall sales strategy, Red Hat is pursuing the free-to-paid opportunity.
