If it matters, run RedHat on prod hosts and centos on non-prod dev/qa.. You get support as main reason for justification. RedHat support improved tremendously over past 4 years. You may still get level one from india, but once you break through level one, you get fairly knowledgeable folks that can help.

(IDC 2011 April TCO Study) I have no agenda. I just want the original "Ask Slashdot" individual to see the study for himself, and provide it to his client's CIO. I'll let them decide from that study, on its own merits. And I fully disclosed that the IDC study was funded by Red Hat. -- Bryan P.S. I made one more comment here, which goes beyond the "support" and TCO aspect ...
