From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TBF i was a contractor so i was almost exclusively working for disfuncional companies.

IIRC If you pay RHEL money it's pretty easy to do with Satellite, otherwise you had to JerryRig Spacewalk to do the same thing, but it's been a while and i never actually set up Satellite as the enterprise companies I'd worked for were cheap.
