I still haven't made time to give CentOS an in-depth look. Things in its favour are that I'm more accustomed to the RedHat world than Debian (although I also use Ubuntu, especially when on the road), and with Fedora I feel I'm being a Guinea Pig for things on the bleeding-edge (eventually might be used in RedHat Enterprise Linux). When you say "RedHat 6 was due", do you mean "RHEL 6", or are we talking "ancient history"?
