Linux Community Forums New to Linux Getting Started with Linux Learning linux severs: Red Hat or Centos ?
20 May 11
It was interesting that Scientific Linux was the first to come out with a Red Hat 6 clone, while Centos, which always followed Red Hat releases by a couple of weeks, has still been unable to release one. From some DistroWatch comments it seems there is trouble in Centos Land.
With so many businesses using Centos, I hope this is not the case. But, from different mailing lists, I'm seeing a migration to Scientific.

You bring up a good point, Goineasy9. I depend on CentOS a lot and right now, we're happy on 5.x, but if we need to support a RH 6 soon, SL may be the way to go.
This is a good read on the subject (from Brian Proffitt, posted yesterday):

Well, some clarifications:
1st: SL hasn't released a 5.6 version whereas CentOS has.
2nd (and importand one): CentOS support is *longer*
The thing is that one of the main centos developers (Dag) left the project months ago and they've been restructuring
