I like the consistency with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and appreciate Linux as a stable operating system. RPM is a decent package manager which helps in teaching system administration tasks where students learn to add and manage packages. CentOS provides a good way for students to gain experience with Red Hat, helping them when they go into the industry. The initial setup of CentOS was easy for me due to experience with Red Hat, and we haven't encountered any issues with students installing CentOS from USB. Recensione raccolta e ospitata su G2.com.
The only problem I've noticed is that we sometimes have issues with NVIDIA drivers. They don't update properly with respect to the GPUs, forcing students to have to reboot the machine, which we try to teach them not to do. On Linux boxes, especially enterprise production servers, you try not to reboot at all. I'm not sure if it's really just CentOS or Red Hat in general. This would be one thing that could be improved, to have a better way of diagnosing why particular packages fail and why drivers, low level drivers, are not consistent.
