Another fairly long post, this time on the early history of RHEL clones. People look at pre-Red Hat CentOS with rose-colored glasses, but the reality was a lot different.
Updates, pre-Red Hat CentOS, took weeks or months. CentOS was at one point at the mercy of an AWOL project lead.
Copying RHEL was difficult and clones were very little threat in environments where updates and reliability were mandatory.
