Actually CentOS is a compiled version of Enterprise Redhat without the Redhat logo so you are getting a commercial Linux distribution without any support. For the home user this is excellent and providing you have a good Linux/Unix system admin, CentOS in the corporate sector can be a good cost saver. One of the best corporate solutions if you want Rehat linux on your Intel machines is to put CentOS on your development and test machines and Redhat Enterprise on your production machines which you will need to pay for. This is a win-win management solution since on one hand you save money with CentOS and on the other you only pay money to Redhat for the production machines. You can actually move a CentOS build to a Redhat Enterprise build by adding one or two Redhat specific rpms and Redhat will support it after you pay the subscription rates. So CentOS and Redhat can be considered two sides of the same coin and can complement each other.
Actually CentOS is looking at providing support for CentOS so for those machines that arn't in production but are in need of some support this may be a solution. You do need to do your homework when approaching management with a CentOS and Redhat solution but if done right everyone looks good and that can mean lots of praise which can translate to increased pay.
