To be absolute correct, it very compatible, probably even bug-for-bug
compatible, but not compatible in every way. I have stumbled across very
minor, obscure differences.
And then, of course, there's the major differences. CentOS 4 used YUM
before RH adopted it for RHEL5. While RHEL5 comes in Server, Client and
Desktop flavors, CentOS has one all encompassing version since they
don't care about licensing.
But they're close enough that you can usually close your eyes and
pretend they're the same.
