Hi Steve.

Vendors have been using that excuse with CentOS forever but generally we 
can make things work and if it's important enough then getting a RHEL 
license isn't too much.

CentOS is just falling too far behind.  When I think about it, I would 
probably trust the makers of SL over CO given both of their histories.  
Still, I'll be able to comment a bit better once I've actually used the 
thing.

PS: Surely if it's just a superset, it's simple enough to strip out the 
extras?

Cheers...  Clark
