[nflug] CentOS

[Tony E - Jaraeth]

The company I work for hosts one of CentOS' Tier 2 mirrors and we use it
on a good 90% or so of our Internal machines and custom machines we
build for our customers that host with us.  It's RedHat Enterprise
Server, minus the name & support costs.  Definitely an awesome distro.
Add in CentOS 5.0's new Virtualization support, and it's definitely
still stable enough for the Enterprise solution.

Regards,

  Tony Evans

It quietly identified the raid controller, installed the CCISS driver and carried on.  Installed the whole system and rebooted into an operational system.  Folks here are amazed 'cuz I didn't have to go track down driver disks, fiddle with memory allocation or reboot 8 times.
