Thanks for the clarification -- it's been a few years since I was really into the RH distro family... and although I've never used CentOS myself, this adds to the pile of Good Things I've heard about it :)

The distro seems to have stalled, or at least be very slow about getting updates done, and does not have much support anymore. CentOS is basically the same thing (rebuild of RHEL from Redhat sources) but has a huge and active community and a very active mailing list. I presonally have it on 8 or 9 servers along side several paid/subscribed RHEL boxes and regularly interchange RPMs between them without issue. Both CentOS and RHEL are rock solid stable, as long as you don't need the latest widget/feature/doo-dad.
