    Eurolinux has the same codebase as RHEL, so it's fully compatible. It's more economically viable and has a free version to use under open core license. I like it.

    Built on pure RHEL code. Complete product at once with all modules (adds-on) that must be purchased separately for RHEL. Also a good update alternative for CentOS 8 and 7.
