CentOS is a fine server--and desktop--OS

I use CentOS on my K12LTSP server. It is solid and just plain works. No, I don't have the very latest apps, true. But the thing just works. The CentOS Plus repository is certainly a good thing, though, if you need newer apps.

I run Nagios on RHEL and NMIS on CentOS at work. Both are solid as rocks. One of my laptops runs CentOS 4, and it has yet to fail me, even once.

Johnny Hughes and the rest of the CentOS team certainly have done a good for our community. And it's proof that a company like Red Hat can make plenty of money (they're doing quite well) selling Free Software in accordance with the GPL. It appears that Stallman was right, after all.
