    We use CentOS on every server we run at work. It's extremely stable, has great support and just gets the job done without any fuss. If you want RHEL, but don't want the price tag for custom support, CentOS is the answer.

    I use it on every VPS. If you're UNIX addictive than it is must have for you.

    CentOS is quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...

    No longer a good choice for production server as it became playground for RHEL.
