In the context of this discussion I would appreciate any feedback the list might have on this article I wrote for my new company. http://otternetworks.de/tech/rhel-centos-brief/ I for one welcome our Redhat overlords. I think they will provide better governance which should give Centos better credibility as an Enterprise, community supported operating system.
