Also, I'd say that "production" means different things to different people. Joe's not going to be adding tons of users and maintaining their e-mail and home directories, etc. he's going to be developing and testing a PHP app. I'd say whatever gets his PHP environment installed while reaching some intersection of "easy to install" and "secure/reliable enough for me" is what he's looking for. CentOS fails all of the "easy to install" tests, in my opinion.
