You can use any OS provided that the version of Erlang and RabbitMQ
match. You could even mix Windows and Unix.

If your change from CentOS to RedHat involves recreating the filesystem
and preserves the hostname then consider making a backup of the Mnesia
database directory and restore to maintain persistent messages and
resources. Also backup the config file if you have one.
