Of course, I don't exactly find that to be a compelling argument in favor of CentOS, considering recent events. http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=381 Just a joke, really, but I found it amusing that you included CentOS on that list. I have used CentOS to give myself a test environment without slapping down money for RHN subscriptions, and I never really had issues, aside from personal preference. - Justin
