Yeah well... the block is fading over time... I just didn't like the
concept when it first started.  Part of that was waiting to see how the
dust was going to settle since there were like 5+ derivatives once the
split to RHEL/Fedora occured, the other part of it was a bit of distaint
against redhat because I didn't like how they handled the split.  I'm not
saying its rational, and I do suggest centos to others.  I now nolonger run
my own actual production servers, so its not a big deal.  I have my dev
boxes at home on Fedora, and RHEL at work.

Plus it was kind of kewl to expand my horizons to actively use another
distribution.  There are some things that debian/ubuntu do MUCH better than
us (not many that I noticed, but some).  And it also gave me a strong
appreciation for a lot of the things rhel/fedora do better.

this is way off topic.  basically it was a personal mental block, i'm not
saying it was justifiable (thus the mention of emotion).
