  • This seems like an unnecessary dichotomy. Infrastructure has to be maintained, period. If you don’t want to maintain it yourself, pay a provider to maintain it for you. If you want to maintain it yourself, you damned we’ll be interested in understanding all the parts of it. Setting up a hypervisor in the office to ‘set it and forget it’ is not the way to do this.















  • Red Hat (RHEL) is not based on any other distro, like Ubuntu is with Debian. RHEL is downstream of Fedora, meaning that RHEL developers can work on code that affects Fedora AND RHEL. This is not really true of Debian and Ubuntu. They are distinct projects with different goals. In many ways, Ubuntu is beholden to what Debian does. This isn’t usually a problem because Debian is very conservative in its approach to software. Ubuntu doesn’t usually have to worry about Debian screwing with something Ubuntu is trying to do.

    Which, is all to say that there is no other distribution you can officially equate to RHEL like you can with Debian & Ubuntu.

But if the server in question is meant to be permanent, like if you’re backing up the data on it, or you’ve got it on a UPS you make sure it stays available, or you would be upset if somebody came by and accidentally unplugged it during the day, it’s not a home lab.

    A home lab is an unimportant, transient environment me
