We primarily use Centos at work - it gets the job done and you don't have to deal with RedHat licensing, so that's a plus. kickstart+your own rpm repos makes for quick and easy automated builds, as well. This perl thing made me laugh, but we roll our own perl for production things so we weren't really affected by it.
Seems RedHat is absurdly slow to fix some bugs in their system, I remember reading about a bug in rpm that they refused to acknowledge and fix for over two years. Good stuff.
