[olug] Differences between SuSE and RH

[Michael Peterson]

You want to pull down a recent CentOS and not Fedora to get as close as
possible to RHEL.

The underlying package manager is RPM.
This is not a major difference.
They do have different GUI and CUI front ends to it.

A major difference is the AppArmor versus SELinux between the two.

Subject: [olug] Differences between SuSE and RH

This is not a troll, really! :)    I've recently accepted a new position and

will be moving from a SLES shop to a Red Hat Enterprise shop.  I haven't
used 
Red Hat since about RH7, so I've got some catching up to do.  Here's a few 
questions. 

1) If I pull down a recent Fedora and fire it up, will that get me fairly 
close to the way Enterprise does things?

2) What major differences (besides the package manager) can I expect between

RH Enterprise and SuSE Enterprise?

3) Any other gotchas?

Thanks!
